I visited Whistler a couple weeks ago (my first time in BC, and a bit of a change of pace from my home in Texas), unfortunately the sliding centre was closed - it was the week-end before summer season started, so I couldn't get pictures. The Olympic Park is also sadly closed to the public during the day.

I imagine they will retest her Olympic sample. There's not a lot of time between the Olympics and that incident.
