Lovchev misses out on Rio
Print Edition
RUSSIAN world weightlifting champion Alexei Lovchev will miss this year’s Rio Olympics after his ‘B’ sample for the banned substance Ipamorelin returned positive, R-Sport news agency reported yesterday.
The 26-year-old, who is also the 105-kilogram world record holder, was found to have traces of Ipamorelin in his ‘A’ sample and was provisionally suspended on December 24. “The ‘B’ sample was tested at an anti-doping laboratory in Montreal and gave a positive result that the weightlifter had a banned substance in his system,” R-Sport said. Russia was suspended from world athletics last year after a doping investigation exposed widespread cheating and corruption.
