Netherlands is a European nation which sends athletes to the Olympics.
2008 Olympics
To qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics Dutch athletes had to met both the international (set by the IOC and IAAF) and the Dutch criteria (set by the NOC*NSF), which meant only achievement of the international "A" standard qualified Dutch athletes for the Olympics. Athletes who met the A standard in 2007 were only required to meet a minimum "B" standard in 2008 to secure the qualification. Simon Vroemen was qualified for the steeple chase, but tested positive for the banned anabolic steroid Dianabol in July 2008.[2]
