LONDON OLYMPIC CHEATS: TEST REVEALS A SHOCKING NUMBER OF CHEATS FROM THE WORLD'S LARGEST NATION



Eight athletes from Russia were among the 23 athletes at the London Olympics who tested positive for doping after fresh analysis of samples.

The confirmation of the positive tests was made by the Russian Olympic Committee.

It did not identify the athletes or what disciplines they were in, but, Sky News gathered that they came from three different sports.

Russia remains under investigation after a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) report suggested "systematic" doping was taking place in the country.

Its track and field athletes are currently suspended from competing, and the Olympic powerhouse could be without a full team at the upcoming Rio games.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) revealed 23 competitors, spanning five sports, had tested positive after new analysis of 265 samples, on Friday.

The IOC said it is continuing to reanalyse the samples with the latest technology, adding that more results could come out in the next few weeks and it will not name the athletes or the sports until second samples have been tested, a process which can take several weeks.
