Two Olympic athletes have been suspended after failing blood tests at the Winter Games, costing them a crack at early golds. Nordic combined athlete Niyaz Nabeev, of Russia, and Estonian cross-country skier Kaspar Kokk will not be allowed to compete from Feb 12-16, the international ski federation (FIS) said on Sunday, after pre-competition blood tests returned high hemoglobin levels.
Nabeev's "start prohibition" meant he missed Sunday's Normal Hill Nordic Combined event. He is also due to compete in the Long Hill Nordic Combined, training for which begins on February19.
