Working list of doping-banned athletes Pre-Olympics 2008
Steroid Nation presents the unofficial working list of elite athletes banned from the 2008 Olympics due to doping. We compiled the list from a number of sources which we will credit soon (such as the IAAF site for track and field).
Such a list is imperfect because some athletes are presumptive -- banned before tryouts. Previous media reports put the number of banned athletes at 'over 40' and now 'over 50'. We count 78 athletes here.
This is a first pass. We will try to clean up the fonts and the spacing however this is a monumental task to investigate all the athletes around the world. Media: if you use this data, please credit the site.
The list-- found after the jump -- is ordered to nation, sport, gender.

Vladimir Gusev and Vladmir Gusau are the same person, I think. Certainly am only aware of one Russian cyclist missing the Games. Am not sure it's fair to list Ivan Basso - he's been suspended for about a year now. Riccardo Riccó - was he Olympics-selected in July? The other two cyclists - Anderson Riis and Bastianelli - are correct.
Similarly, I would object to Dwain Chambers' inclusion on the list. The BOC didn't want to include him and hadn't selected him. He tried to force them to select him and failed. If you're going to have him why not have David Millar as well, who was similarly blocked from competing for a place on the squad, but didn't appeal his exclusion?
Great list and hope you don't mind these suggestions to improve it.

Maybe they should just make Roids legal. Besides the roid rage and teste shrinkage, o and the permanent damage they do to your heart they are good for you.
Really though they should probably have testing in the years prior to olympic games. Mandatory random test for the pre-roster athletes.
