The IAAF said both tested positive for the banned stimulant methylhexaneamine and have been provisionally suspended for two years, pending the outcome of their respective disciplinary hearings.

Lim was in the South Korean 4 x 100 metres relay team that finished fifth in its heat.

The IAAF said they were among 468 athletes tested for urine during the championships that were held in Daegu between Aug.27-Sept.4.
