BERLIN, Nov 22: Two athletes who competed at this year’s world championships in Paris tested positive for the designer steroid THG, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said on Saturday.

The ruling body ordered the Paris samples to be retested after the discovery of the previously undetectable substance.

IAAF said there were two positive “A” samples from the 402 tests conducted. —Reuters
