Uzbek boxer Lazizbek Mullajonov, who won gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics, has tested positive for a banned substance.
According to the International Testing Agency (ITA), a sample collected on June 11 for the World Boxing event tested positive for a metabolite of metasterone, an anabolic steroid listed among prohibited substances by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The boxer has the right to request testing of his B sample. If it also returns positive, he will be disqualified.
Mullajonov won gold in the 92 kg final by defeating Azerbaijani boxer Alfonso Dominguez.
