ZAGREB, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Croatian 800m runner Vanja Perisic failed a doping re-test at last year's Beijing Olympics, local media quoted members of the country's Olympic committee (HOO) as saying on Wednesday.

"This is still the A test and we are waiting for the obligatory B test," HOO secretary general Josip Cop was quoted as saying by daily Jutarnji List.

"If that one confirms doping, we in HOO shall act according to regulations. But we do want to be cautious and wait for the results of the B test first."

Perisic was eliminated in the first round of the women's 800 meters.

Cop said the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had informed the HOO of the findings in an official letter.

The IOC said on Tuesday six more athletes were found positive results from re-testing samples taken from the Beijing Olympics.
