LAUSANNE, Switzerland — The Paris Olympics anti-doping program caught five athletes after earlier finding 40 rule violations among competitors who had been expected to take part in the Games. The International Testing Agency that ran the Olympic operation says 6,130 samples were collected during the Games period in July-August from 4,150 different athletes. The agency says a higher proportion of athletes were tested than at the previous Summer Games in Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro. Games-time samples plus selected ones from pre-Games testing will be stored for 10 years. They can be opened and re-analyzed using better tests and fresh intelligence.
