Myroslav Dykun, team GB wrestler who was expected to do well in the Olympic Games this summer has failed a drugs test.
The international level wrestler won gold in the Commonwealth Games for England earlier this year. He is suspended until he has a second drugs test to determine wether he will be disqualified or not. If he is it will be a big blow for wrestling.
There are two types of wrestling in the Olympic games - Freestyle and
Greco-Roman (the type Dykun competes in). So far Britain hasn't done very well in either.The last time they won a medal was way back in 1984, when they took home a
bronze.
Dykun isn't origionally British though, he was born in Ukraine but was asked to move over and start a wrestling academy. He has now lived here long enough to be eligible to compete for Great Britain!
