One case involves the steroid nandrolone, and the other involves the stimulant methamphetamine, the IOC said Friday. It didn't identify the athletes or sports involved pending a hearing.

IOC medical director Patrick Schamasch said hearings likely would be held early in the week beginning March 11.
