俄羅斯冰壺銅牌運動員藥檢呈陽性

A Russian athlete is suspected of breaching doping rules at the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games.

Russian curlers said that a coach on their team told them late Sunday (South Korean time) that mixed doubles bronze medalist Alexander Krushelnitsky tested positive for meldonium, a substance banned in 2016.

Russian Curling Federation president Dmitry Svishchev would not confirm the name of the athlete.

The International Olympics Committee (IOC) said on Monday that a second sample from the athlete had been taken and results would be available in 24 hours.

If confirmed positive by the second test, the incident could keep Russia's team from being reinstated and marching under the national flag at the closing ceremony.一名參加平昌冬季奧運會的俄羅斯運動員被懷疑違反了有關興奮劑的規則。

俄羅斯冰壺運動員說，他們的一名教練韓國時間星期天晚上告訴他們，獲得混合雙人賽銅牌的克魯謝尼基的藥檢結果米屈肼呈陽性。米屈肼是2016年開始禁用的興奮劑。

俄羅斯冰壺協會主席斯維曉夫拒絕確認這名俄羅斯運動員的名字。

國際奧林匹克運動會星期一說，從這名俄羅斯運動員又收集了第二個藥檢抽樣，24小時後會出結果。

如果第二次藥檢仍然是陽性，俄羅斯冰壺代表隊將被禁止在閉幕式上跟隨俄羅斯國旗入場。
