Koki Manunga, 21, and Joyce Zakary, 29, have accepted provisional bans after "targeted tests" by the governing body.

The pair, who are both 400m runners, were tested at their team hotel on 20 and 21 August.Zakary set a national record of 50.71 in heat three of the 400m on Monday.
However, Zakary did not start in her scheduled semi-final on Tuesday.Manunga did not compete in the event in China.

"The IAAF will not discuss the details of the cases as they progress through the results management process."
