Three Russian female athletes could be in hot water after missing a drug's test. Olesya Bufalova, Tatyana Veshkurova, a European Gold and Silver Medalist, as well as middle distance runner Svetlana Cherkasova were at a Portuguese disco when the officials arrived at their training camp.

As the athletes weren't present, the test could be automatically classed as positive but Russia's head coach, Valentine Maslakov, says the accusations are groundless.
