Find a string occurrence if twice in a line

Hello All,

I want to check if a delimiter is existing twice in a line of a text file.

Suppose flat file is like this

Code:
234 | 123
123 | 345
456 | 563 |
234 | 548

So the the 3rd line has two delimiters,
How can we find the lines in such a file having more then one delimiters

I tried with

Code:
cat sample.txt  |  grep -c '|'

but this gives me the count of total number of delimiters.

Any help appreciated
