t-and-f: Positives and fines?

[Roger Ruth]

Earlier today, Paul Tucknott, apparently quoting a BBC source. wrote:

"The entire Romanian weightlifting team was to be kicked out of the games,
but paid a $50,000 fine to allow those who had not tested positive to stay."

It's not quite clear, to me, why athletes who had not tested positive might
have been "kicked out of the games," or to whom the ransom would be paid.

Can someone clarify when guilt by association becomes operative?

Cheers,
