LIMA (Reuters) - Weightlifting will have to pass several hurdles to prove it is doping-free or it risks losing its established Olympic spot for the Paris 2024 Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on Friday. "If weightlifting stays compliant with the WADA code then we proceed with this formula for Paris 2024. The sport, along with athletics, represented more than 80 percent of the positive cases from those re-tests, IOC member Denis Oswald said on Friday. He said 75 medals had been stripped from athletes across many sports from those two Games after re-testing 1,100 samples in total. "(WADA) will be involved with us to make sure we monitor implementation of any actions the IWF proposes to us."
