Rogge reminded that the IOC will store all samples from London and can reanalyze them, revise results and reallocate medals until the statute of limitations expires in August 2020.

“When there is no new tests, we wait until the last moment; if there is a breakthrough new test, we’ll test immediately,” he said.
