Two more weightlifters face being stripped of their medals from the 2012 Olympics over doping.

The International Weightlifting Federation has said Romanians Roxana Cocos and Razvan Martin are suspected of using banned steroids after their 2012 samples were re-tested using modern technology.They join more than 50 other lifters who have failed re-testing from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, which has left the medal standings in weightlifting almost unrecognizable compared to the original results.

Martin won bronze in the men’s 69kg event, and his medal could pass to North Korean Kim Myong-Hok. Martin’s already been banned once for doping from 2013 to 2015.
