Australia could lose a swimming medal from the 2012 London Olympics in a doping case. The Court of Arbitration for Sport said it held a hearing on Monday on the previously confidential case of Brenton Rickard, who tested positive years after the London Games in a reanalysis of his sample. Rickard's sample reportedly had a tiny amount of the banned substance, which Australian media believe came from a contaminated over-the-counter medication. Strict liability rules in doping mean athletes face disqualification and a ban if they cannot detail exactly how a banned substance became present in their system.
