Narrative:

I was pilot flying; and the captain made the 100 knots call and noticed my airspeed indicator was lagging significantly. We confirmed the airspeed with the standby instruments and determined the captains airspeed indicator was reliable. After rotation and gear retraction I transferred aircraft control to the captain and he continued the takeoff and we cleaned up the aircraft. First officer airspeed indicator was 20-30 knots slower than the captains. The captain continued flying and the international relief officer and I ran the airspeed unreliable checklist and we returned to ZZZ and the captain made an overweight landing. We had the fire trucks check the brakes and they applied fans to cool them. We were towed to the gate.

Title: During the takeoff roll the First Officer's airspeed lagged behind the Captain's so the flight returned to the departure airport. The aircraft had been washed; the pitot system inspected by the IRO; but yellow tape was found inside the First Officer's pitot tube upon inspection after landing.

The captain continued flying and the IRO and I ran the Airspeed Unreliable checklist and we returned to ZZZ and the captain made an overweight landing.
