********* boxer tests positive for banned substance

********* boxer Cynthia Ogunsemilore has been removed from the Paris Olympics women’s tournament after testing positive for a banned substance.

The 22-year-old ******** Games lightweight champion tested positive for the diuretic furosemide in a sample taken on Thursday, the International Testing Agency has confirmed.

Furosemide is a masking agent that can hide the presence of other drugs.

The ITA said on Saturday the ******** has been provisionally suspended and cannot take part in the Olympics.

She was due to compete Monday in the round of 16 as the fourth-seeded boxer in the women’s 60kg class.

Ogunsemilore won the ******** Games title in her weight class last year and took bronze at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

It is the second positive doping test announced at the Paris Olympics.

Iraqi judoka Sajjad Sehen tested positive for two anabolic steroids, the ITA said on Friday.
