BEIJING -- A two-time North Korean medalist in shooting and a Vietnamese gymnast have failed doping tests at the Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee says both athletes have been kicked out of the games after testing positive for banned substances.
Shooter Kim Jong Su was stripped of his silver medal Friday in the 50-meter pistol and bronze in the 10-meter air pistol.
Gymnast Thi Ngan Thuong Do finished in 82nd and last place in the women's floor exercises.
They are the second and third athletes caught doping in Beijing.
Spanish cyclist Maria Isabel Moreno was kicked out of the games Monday after testing positive for EPO.
The IOC is conducting a record 4,500 doping tests in Beijing.
Someone fill me in. What exactly does a shooter gain from doping? Maybe he just wanted to be buff to impress the ladies?
