International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Jacques Rogge arrived in Beijing amid a row over internet access for foreign journalists.
Lingering concerns about air quality are also hampering final preparations.
The IOC has also stripped the US 4x400m men's relay team of gold at the Sydney Games in 2000 after a doping admission.
Sprinter Antonio Pettigrew admitted in June that he used banned substances between 1997 and 2003.
And a once-banned Greek athlete has threatened to sue the IOC chief if she is not allowed to compete.
Greek sprinter Katerina Thanou pulled out of the Athens Olympics in 2004 after failing to report for a drugs test - her third missed test - and was banned for two years.
She is now in Greece's Olympic athletic team for Beijing, but Mr Rogge has suggested she could now be barred from competing.
