BRITAIN'S top Olympic hope in Greco-Roman wrestling, Ukraine-born Myroslav Dykun, has been suspended and risks missing London 2012 after failing a dope test, British Wrestling said yesterday. "He's tested positive with his 'A' sample and has been suspended with immediate effect. We believe it's from the amphetamines group," British Wrestling chief executive Colin Nicholson said. The 2010 Commonwealth Games 66kg gold medallist faces a likely two-year ban if a 'B' test confirms the initial positive result. The British Olympic Association, which this week lost a battle to impose lifetime Olympic bans on drugs cheats little more than two months away from the start of the London Games on July 27, had no immediate comment. But UK Anti-Doping confirmed the suspension.
