The New York Times has an article via the Associated Press about the latest Olympic scandal:
A Norwegian rider, Tony Andre Hansen, was stripped of his Olympic bronze medal in team jumping after his horse tested positive for a banned drug at the Beijing Games. Hansen was disqualified by the International Equestrian Federation, known as F.E.I., and barred from the sport for four and a half months. Hansen, 29, was the best performer on a Norwegian team that won bronze under a scoring system in which scores from the top three of four riders count. The fourth-place Swiss team will be awarded the bronze medals by the International Olympic Committee.
