Two weightlifters from Uzbekistan tested positive for doping at
the Asian Games with both being disqualified from the Games, Husain
Al Musallam, director general of the Olympic Committee of Asia,
said on Sunday.
Elmira Ramieva, who finished fifth in the women's 69kg class,
was found to have used an anabolic steroid, while Alexander Urinov,
seventh-place finisher in the men's 105kg division, tested positive
for cannabis-related substance, said Al Musallam.
Both have been disqualified from the Games. The news came one
day after Myanmar's female weightlifter Than Kyi Kyi tested
positive for a banned diuretic in the Games' first doping
case.
