IOC extends mandate of Oswald Commission to 2012 London Olympics - statement
MOSCOW. Dec 9 (Interfax) - The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has extended the mandate of the Disciplinary Commission chaired by its member Denis Oswald, which was originally authorized to re-analyze doping samples collected from Russian Olympians in Sochi in 2014, to examine such samples collected at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, the IOC said in a statement on Friday.
"The IOC has extended the mandate of the Oswald Commission to examine all samples collected from Russian athletes during the Olympic Games London 2012, following the findings of today's completed IP Report," the IOC said.
"Re-analysis of some of these samples is already underway following intelligence provided by Prof. McLaren to the IOC," the statement says.
"Eleven Russian athletes have already been sanctioned by the IOC as a result of the IOC's own re-analysis programme, which began prior to the Olympic Games Rio 2016 and is ongoing," it said.
