“If violation will be confirmed, results of involved competitions will be updated and medals reassigned, eventually“ states IAAF after the re-analysis of blood and urine samples of Helsinki 2005 and Osaka 2007 World Championships.
The majority of the athletes hit by the re-testing is no more in activity while the others have been suspended and will not take part to Beijing World Championships; moreover, some of them have been already sanctioned in the past.
Most of the cases come from Russia, together with Belarus, Turkey and Ukraine.
