LAUSANNE: Two more Russian bobsleighers from the Russian-hosted 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics have been stripped of their gold medals for doping, the IOC said on Monday.

Aleksei Negodailo and Dmitrii Trunenkov were members of the same four-man bobsleigh team as Alexander Zubkov, Russia's flag carrier at the Games, who had his medal stripped on Friday. The IOC has also taken away the team's title.
