Asiad: Uzbek caught doping, stripped of silver

Guangzhou: Uzbek judo silver medallist Shokir Muminov has been disqualified for returning a positive drug test for a banned stimulant, an Olympic Council of Asia official told reporters on Friday.

Chairman of the OCA medical committee Dr. Mani Jegathesan said the presence of methylhexaneamine, a stimulant on WADA's prohibited list, in Muminov's urine sample had been deemed "sufficient for us to take action."

"The athlete has been disqualified from the competition as well as these Games and his performance in the competition has been nullified, his medal withdrawn and appropriate adjustment made to the results," Jegathesan said.

Muminov was beaten in the men's 81kg gold medal bout by South Korea's Kim Jae-bum on Sunday.
