Bump - 23 more athletes tested positive from the 2012 Olympics. Looks like 6 countries are implicated, so not just the Russians this time. No info yet on who got caught, but I think most of them are athletes looking to compete this summer. Very interesting timing.

The IOC did not identify the athletes, their sports or their nationalities.

I guess I've been a bit naive to this. I always thought there was some doping going on, but it seems like it is far more wide reaching than I previously thought.
