[edit] Sources

This article does not mention sources. I'm not really worried about legal problems, as this list includes inadvertent doping violations as well as deliberate ones, but it's something that the article could do with. Andjam 11:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1998 Winter Olympics

There's no mention of the snowboarder who was initially found positive for dope. He was allowed to keep his medal, but I suspect it's still worth mentioning here. Andjam 11:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 Winter Olympics

Should the cases of cross-country competitors banned from competing due to red blood cell counts (or whatever) be mentioned? Andjam 11:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1976 Olympics Montreal has an issue.

Lorne Leibel did fail a doping control test but upon investigation it was found that a team doctor had prescribed a cold remeedy which had phenyipropanolmine in it.

After an investigation Lorne was exonerated. Source of this information is Mr Richard Pound WADA. On that basis I have removed the listing

The problem with listing people who failed a doping conrol is getting access to good records and it seems only fair you should show all or non. There is a significant difference between failing a doping control and finding an explanation versus being disqualified and suspended. This happens less frequenty now that WADA has good lists of medications that can create failed tests.
