The IOC brings history to life

Doping

He promised, he kept his word. In recent months, at the world anti-doping laboratory in Lausanne, the International Olympic Committee has carried out a new analysis of nearly 500 samples (489 to be precise) taken during the Turin Winter Games in 2006. A procedure made possible by the extension to 10 years of the period during which a sample can now be re-analyzed to find any trace of prohibited products. But the IOC, cautiously, has not yet revealed whether this vast operation had made it possible to get their hands on new cheaters.
