[sars1981]

Does anybody know what kind of testing protocols Olympic athletes are subjected to? How might it compare to the level of testing Cyclists are subjected to? Is it more or less difficult to bypass their controls than in cycling?

There's less interference between a positive test and acting on it too. WADA/IOC don't appear to be afraid of bringing athletes down.

It is ok to use Actovegin at the Olympics.
Not sure if that is the case in pro cycling.

Not if it is used in conjunction with blood doping or EPO.
