At the Olympic Games, frequent drug testing is carried out and positive doping results are punished, which often results in the loss of Olympic medals by athletes who are found to have violated anti-doping rules. As of 2020, there have been 23 silver medals and 22 gold medals stripped due to doping violations in Olympic athletics.
