Biting wrestler

WRESTLING'S governing body says it has suspended an Egyptian athlete who allegedly bit her Israeli opponent during a bout. Enas Moustafa Youssef Khourshid also reportedly disrespected wrestling protocol by refusing to shake the hand of Ilana Kartysh of Israel before or after their semifinal at a grand prix event last month in Sassari, Italy. FILA President Nenad Lalovic said in an e-mail that "the Egyptian female wrestler was immediately suspended". The sanction prevented her competing in the Mediterranean Games which finished on Sunday in Turkey. Despite the bite, Kartysh won the 67-kilogram category match and went on to win the tournament, lifting her FILA world ranking to No. 2.
