Olympic bobsledder faces 1-year doping ban

Bobsledder William Frullani faces a possible one-year ban after being kicked out of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games over a failed doping test.

Italian sport's anti-doping office has asked for bobsledder William Frullani to be banned for a year after failing a doping test at the Sochi Winter Olympic Games.

Frullani tested positive for the banned stimulant dimetylpentylamine on February 18 and the Italian was kicked out of Sochi.

The case will go to the second level of the Italian Olympic committee's anti-doping tribunal.

The 34-year-old Frullani was a five-time national champion in the decathlon and heptathlon before turning to the bobsled.
