Sunday at the Games

Doping update

Greek weightlifter Leonidas Sampanis was stripped of his bronze and expelled from the Olympics for a doping offense . . . Russian shot put gold medalist Irina Korzhanenko, the winner at Ancient Olympia, is under investigation after testing positive twice for the steroid stanozolol — the same drug that cost Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson his 100-meter gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
