Wrestler Vinod Kumar is set to be kicked off the Australian Olympic team after returning a positive doping test.
Kumar, one of two Australians to have qualified for the Greco-Roman discipline, tested positive at the African/Oceania Olympic qualifier in Alger, Algeria in April.
A subsequent test of his B sample was also positive, and he has been suspended four years, but has 30 days to appeal.
The Australian Olympic Committee said on Friday it had asked Wrestling Australia to withdraw Kumar's Rio Games nomination. His profile has already been removed from the Australian Olympic Team's website.
Born in India, Kumar became an Australian citizen in 2015 and represented the country for the first time last year.
SBS Hindi has contacted Vinod Kumar for a comment and is awaiting response. SBS Hindi understands that the wrestler is travelling overseas for training at the moment.
