Australian Olympic officials ban wrestler over doping (Yahoo Sports)

The Australian Olympic Committee has asked Wrestling Australia to withdraw the nomination of Vinod Kumar for the Rio de Janeiro Games over a doping violation. The AOC on Friday said Kumar tested positive in April at the African/Oceania Olympic qualifier in Algeria where he won a silver medal, and both his A and B samples were positive. The AOC said Kumar had been suspended for four years, but had 30 days to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
