We now know how many findings there are from the 10 year re-analysis.
"Beginning in April 2015, using the latest technology available in the field of anti-doping and taking advantage of the new World Anti-Doping Codes provision extending from 8 to 10 years the periodduring which samples can be tested, the IAAF made a second reanalysis of Helsinki 2005 and Osaka 2007 samples. This reanalysis has confirmed a further 28 athletes with 32 adverse findings.
Due to the legal process, none of these athletescan be named yet.
A large majority of the 28 are retired, some are athletes who have already been sanctioned, and only very few remain active in sport. The IAAF is provisionally suspending them and can confirm that none of the athletes concerned will be competing in Beijing.
This strategy first revealed six adverse findings from Helsinki which were announced in March 2013 and to date 9 athletes have been sanctioned following re-testing of samplesfrom various world championships."
LOL,.... so much for the NOP defenders claiming the statute of limitations was enough to protect Salazar from pass misdoings. Such statutes are not built strong enough to protect cheaters. The statues rest on edge of soft-sided cliffs.
I hope they retest the samples from the 1984 Olympics..
If they have any samples from 2003 they should make it 12 years and retest them too - but it looks like they only started this long term storage program in 2005 sadly..
Webb is finally going to get his medal!
All week there had been rumors of a major drug bust that was coming and now it's out. The IAAF has gone back and used new technology to re-test samples stored since the 2005 and 2007 World Champs. They've nailed an amazing 28 people!!!The names aren't out yet as obviously the legal maneuverings are going to take forever when you are testing something that is 8-10 years old.The press release from the IAAF appears below.
We'll try to right up an article about this as it's great news. The #1 way to limit PEDs is to raise the fear of getting caught and then the punishment if one is caught.
And Pre too!
In 1500m? Wow that would be more DQs than even the top 4 in the women's event and a double Ramzi!
Could Bekele be one of them? Won both 2005 and 2007 10,000m Gold and is not competing in this year's WC.
Probably just going to punish some eastern european throwers
On that note, Lysenko has had 1 ban, got a medal in 2005 and many post-ban, including London 2012 gold. Maybe Ryabinkina DQ would give Adams ANOTHER gold?
Ramzi in 2007 would give Kiprop an additional bronze medal. At least 2 more in the women's from being later caught will give Kibiwot a medal, one more who is suspicious would give a Namibian bronze in 4:07!

These are urine samples so it's unlikely to be an EPO positive.

WADA has a 10year statute of limitations on drugs. Does anyone know? I thought it used to be 8 years. If it was 8 years at the time, I wonder if these people will get off on a technicality- claiming you can't change the rules after the ract.

Haha. I wasn't the only one suspicous of what happened with the 2004 Olympic re-tests which was done by the IOC, not IAAF. A few throwers wer e thrown out and then the rest of the samples were thrown out. I always wanted to know how they decided which ones to retest and why they didn't re-test them all:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/06/sports/four-2004-olympians-stripped-of-medals-in-doping-re-test.html?_r=0"None of the athletes involved will be competing in Beijing"
Does this mean that any of the few athletes who are still active have been suspended? Or that none of these athletes were originally competing in Beijing?

Webb was 9th in 2005 and 8th in 2007 so he's gonna need some big time help. I do imagine we'll definitely have some DQs in the 1500s (men and women)
Here are the 1500 results from 2005. I would assume noted drug cheat Tomashova might end up being one of them.
Men:
August 10, 2005
Bahrain Rashid Ramzi 3:37.88
Morocco Adil Kaouch 3:38.00 (SB)
Portugal Rui Silva 3:38.02
Ukraine Ivan Heshko 3:38.71
Spain Arturo Casado 3:39.45
Spain Juan Carlos Higuero 3:40.34
Kenya Alex Kipchirchir 3:40.43
Algeria Tarek Boukensa 3:41.01
United States Alan Webb 3:41.04
Qatar Daham Najim Bashir 3:43.48
Spain Reyes Estévez 3:46.65
Morocco Yassine Bensghir 3:50.19
Women:
Russia Tatyana Tomashova 4:00.35 (SB)
Russia Olga Yegorova 4:01.46
France Bouchra Ghézielle 4:02.45

Canada Carmen Douma-Hussar 4:05.08
United Kingdom Helen Clitheroe 4:05.19 (SB)
Lithuania Irina Krakoviak 4:08.18
Yeah, they are detecting steroids after a long time since usage. I think the statute is only for testing - hence they wait till the end of the period to allow testing to catch up. If they extended it to 12 years tomorrow they could retest 2003 samples all of a sudden etc.
On that note, throwing out samples sounds like a heck of a scandal, like that recent Spanish cycling ruling where the doping lists were shelved. But the IOC is a moneygrab, hence the 'European Games' in Baku, and Beijing vs. Almaty for the Winter Olympics..
its going to be people like Tomashova and Yegerova who have already been banned.
Lagat.
Anyone else read this thread title and think that the hammer wasn't going to be competed at Worlds anymore at first?
But for real: how long will it take the IAAF to release the 28 names?
6 of the 28 athletes were still competing
