ZURICH (Reuters) - Uzbekistan's Ruslan Nurudinov has been disqualified from the London Olympics weightlifting competition after being found guilty of doping, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Monday. Nurudinov finished fourth in the 105-kg category in London and went on to win gold at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics four years later. CAS said that its anti-doping division found that Nurudinov tested positive for the banned substance dehydrochlormethyltestosterone. CAS said the case would be referred to the International Weightlifting Federation "for further follow-up." Nurudinov could not immediately be reached and the Uzbeki Weightlifting Federation told Reuters it had no immediate comment.
