FOUR Russian athletes expelled from Sweden in December because anabolic steroids were found in the suitcase of one of their trainers have been cleared of taking drugs, the International Amateur Athletic Federation said yesterday. Jayne Pearce, an IAAF spokeswoman, said tests on Rodion Gataullin, Margarita Ponomaryova, Tatyana Reshetnikova and Lyudmila Narozhilenko had proved negative.
