IOC denies cover-up
THE IOC denied yesterday that it covered up doping cases from the 2008 Beijing Olympics after a German TV program revealed that positive tests by Jamaican sprinters were not prosecuted.
German documentary maker Hajo Seppelt said “several” of the Caribbean island’s athletes had traces of clenbuterol in recent re-tests of 8-year-old urine samples. Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt won three gold medals in world-record times. The IOC said it concluded there was no pattern of organized cheating, after consulting the World Anti-Doping Agency.
“After careful consideration, WADA informed the IOC further to the pattern analysis that the IOC had conducted that WADA could not find any significant and consistent pattern of abuse of clenbuterol in these cases and that it would be appropriate not to take these cases any further,” the IOC said.
