News summary

Nigerian lightweight boxer Cynthia Ogunsemilore has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for furosemide, a banned diuretic, ahead of her opening fight at the Paris Olympics. The International Testing Agency (ITA) announced the suspension following an out-of-competition doping control conducted on Thursday. Ogunsemilore is now barred from competing, training, or participating in any Olympic-related activities during the Games. She has the right to challenge this provisional suspension at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and can also request an analysis of her B-sample. The boxer, a Commonwealth Games bronze medallist, was scheduled to face Taiwan's Wu Shih Yi in a round of 16 bout on Tuesday. This incident adds to the growing list of athletes suspended for doping violations as the Olympics approach.
