Zoltan Kövago banned

Seasoned Hungarian discus thrower Zoltan Kövago has been found guilty of  a doping offence and will miss the Olympics.

The Hungarian association had exonerated Kövago after he failed to submit to a doping test on 11 August 2011, but the IAAF was successful in an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and the thrower has now been banned for two years, presumably backdated to the date of the offence.

This post will be updated once the Court publishes its reasons.
