Yes, this has happened several times. The latest was Rashid Ramzi of Bahrain who won gold in men's 1500 meter run at the 2008 Games in Beijing and had his medal taken away in November, 2009 due to testing positive for blood doping.
The International Olympic Committee has the power to do 'retroactive' blood tests to check for doping/drugs as new procedures for testing are created and Ramzi's blood sample tested positive for a blood doping substance.
