The president of the IAAF says the Belarusian silver and bronze medalists in the men's Olympic hammer throw have tested positive for doping and will be suspended.
Lamine Diack told The Associated Press on Friday that Vadim Devyatovskiy and Ivan Tsikhan "were tested and it was positive."
The International Olympic Committee said Thursday it was investigating the two athletes, and that a disciplinary commission will meet at the end of the month to hear the case. The Belarus Athletics Federation said both Devyatovskiy and Tsikhan had denied the accusations.
