A Canadian Olympic medal winner is provisionally suspended, the case involving an Italian biathlete intensifies and the WADA President is 'uncomfortable' with the presence of a coach at Milan Cortina.

A rider on Alberto Contador's cycling team tests positive, another athlete once banned carries the Winter Olympic torch and a survey finds athletes fear inadvertent contamination.
