INCHEON, South Korea, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- More than 1,000 drug tests have been conducted and two returned positive results so far at the Incheon Asian Games, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) said on Saturday.
"We have conducted tests on 1,000 specimens so far out of 1,900 athletes," Tan Sri Jegathesan, chairman of the OCA's medical committee and anti-doping commission, told a press conference at the Asiad Main Press Center.
"We have sent two press releases concerning positive findings: a Tajikistan football athlete Khurshed Beknazarov, and Cambodian soft tennis athlete, Sophany Yi."
When asked about the policy regarding a team's diqaulification, Beknazarov explained that in the case of football "the entire team is not disqualified for one anti-doping violation, but two or more positive results will lead to a team's disqualification," while in the case of "smaller teams like badminton, swimming, or relays", the team is disqualified for one positive result.
Some 9,500 athletes from 45 countries and regions are taking part in the Sept. 19-Oct. 4 Incheon Asian Games.
