Of the 45 failed tests announced on Friday, 30 were from Beijing, including 23 medallists, and 15 were from London. "The new reanalysis once again shows the commitment of the IOC in the fight against doping," IOC President Thomas Bach said. Forty-five athletes have failed dope tests after their samples from the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Games were reanalysed, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on Friday. The failed tests will raise further speculation about the extent of doping at the Games, just weeks before the Rio Olympics starts. The IOC did not say if any of the London athletes had won medals.
