Bronze medallist suspended after failed drug test

Moldovan canoe sprint bronze medallist Serghei Tarnovschi was provisionally suspended from the Rio Olympics on Thursday (August 18), after he failed a pre-Games drug test, the International Canoe Federation said.

The 19-year-old paddler had been due to contest the C2M 1000m with brother Oleg, but will now no longer be eligible, the ICF said.
