Sport's highest court CAS yesterday rejected an appeal by two Chinese women weightlifters stripped of their gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics for doping.
Cao Lei, the 75kg champion and Liu Chunhong, who won the 69kg category, were disqualified in January following a reanalysis of their drug tests. Chen Xiexia, the 48kg gold medalist in Beijing, was also stripped of her title after the trio tested positive for the banned GHRP-2, a human growth hormone. The Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed Cao and Liu's disqualification, throwing out their appeal.
