Ex-Olympic wrestling champ gets 1-year ban

FORMER Olympic wrestling champion Steeve Guenot has been banned for a year by the French anti-doping agency for missing doping controls.

The French wrestling federation said Guenot, who won gold in the 66-kilogram category at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and bronze in London four year later, failed to give details about his whereabouts and was twice absent from his house for out-of-competition tests between February and July this year. He has never tested positive. Guenot, who has been suspended until July 30, 2015, will not appeal the decision, meaning he won’t be able to compete at the European Games in Baku next June. The 29-year-old is currently sidelined after hip surgery.
