There is no information yet available if Russian athletes were among participants of the London 2012 Summer Olympics who tested positive for doping after recent rechecks, Russian Deputy Minister of Sports Yuri Nagornykh said Friday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it had found doping substances in 23 samples from the 2012 Olympic Games while conducting wider retests.

"There is no information on London yet, hopefully, our athletes are not there [on the list]," Nagornykh told R-Sport.
