They didn't exactly "test positive" since that implies that a banned substance was found in their blood, they simply had higher than the legal limit of red blood cells in the test for which there may (or may not, I don't know but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here to a certain extent) be a perfectly natural explaination. The Russian Federation (who aren't exactly a reliable source but at the moment they're all we have) say that it is due to the athletes monthly cycle. After all the problems they've had with drugs testing over the last few years, especially with Nandralone (spelling anyone?) I have trouble believing that a failed test automatically means an athlete is cheating.

  True, but if there were some who tested positive, they shouldn't have been
  doing anything to pull them out in the first place.
