DOHA, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Two weightlifters
from Uzbekistan were tested positive for doping at the Asian Games, Husain Al
Musallam, director general of the Olympic Committee of Asia, said on
Sunday.
Elmira Ramieva, who finished fifth in the women's 69kg class, was found using an anabolic steroid, while Alexander Urinov, seventh-place finisher in the men's 105kg division, was caught for taking a cannabis-related substance, said Al Musallam.
Both have been disqualified from the Games.
The news came one day after Myanmar's female weightlifter Than Kyi Kyi was tested positive for a banned diuretic in the Games' first doping case.
