Annus and Fazekas fail to win back Olympic golds

Hungarian athletes Adrian Annus and Robert Fazekas have failed in their attempt to win back their gold medals from the Athens Olympics.

The two men heard last week that their appeal to the international Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) had been rejected.

Annus, who provided negative samples before and after the competition, had his hammer throw gold medal taken away after failing to meet an International Olympic Committee deadline to provide another urine sample before the end of the Games.

The IOC said that an analysis of the two urine samples the hammer thrower had provided "showed evidence of belonging to two different athletes, indicating possible tampering."

Fazekas was disqualified from the discus event for failing to produce enough urine for a drug test following competition and for leaving the drug testing room before providing a sample.
