===Doping=== On March 11, 2010, it was reported that the Polish cross country skier [[Kornelia Marek]] was tested positive for [[Erythropoietin|EPO]] by the [[Polish Olympic Committee]]. If found guilty of doping by the International Olympic Committee, Marek and the relay teams would be disqualified and stripped of their Vancouver results. She would also be banned from the [[2014 Winter Olympics|next Winter Olympics]] in [[Sochi]], [[Russia]], in 2014. Marek denied taking any banned substances, but the backup "B" sample from the Vancouver doping lab confirmed the "A" sample.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5jes9QFNtEQg_moCp_Y3LNuLOsU0w|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100318025712/http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5jes9QFNtEQg_moCp_Y3LNuLOsU0w|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 18, 2010|title=The Canadian Press: Polish cross-country skier Marek tests positive for EPO at Vancouver Olympics|date=March 18, 2010}}</ref> On October 9, 2017, the IOC announced that three positive doping cases had been found from their re-analysis programme from the 2010 games. All three cases belonged to the same athlete, whose identity was not released at the time. The IOC had re-tested 1,195 urine samples from the games out of the 1,710 taken, which equates to 70%, as part of their re-analysis programme.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.olympic.org/news/vancouver-2010-re-analysis-programme-and-pre-games-anti-doping-taskforce-to-provide-level-playing-field-for-all-clean-athletes-at-pyeongchang-2018|title=Vancouver 2010 re-analysis programme and Pre-Games Anti-Doping Taskforce to provide level playing field for all clean athletes at PyeongChang 2018|date=October 10, 2017|access-date=October 11, 2017|archive-date=October 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171011233227/https://www.olympic.org/news/vancouver-2010-re-analysis-programme-and-pre-games-anti-doping-taskforce-to-provide-level-playing-field-for-all-clean-athletes-at-pyeongchang-2018|url-status=live}}</ref> Weeks later, the athlete was confirmed to be Slovenian biathlete [[Teja Gregorin]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.biathlonworld.com/news/detail/ibu-press-release-positive-findings-from-ioc-retests-in-vancouver|title=IBU Press Release: Positive Findings from IOC Retests in Vancouver - International Biathlon Union - IBU - International Biathlon Union - IBU|website=www.biathlonworld.com|access-date=October 27, 2017|archive-date=October 27, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171027232135/http://www.biathlonworld.com/news/detail/ibu-press-release-positive-findings-from-ioc-retests-in-vancouver|url-status=live}}</ref>
