Cynthia Temitayo Ogunsemilore: Nigerian boxer Cynthia Temitayo Ogunsemilore has been provisionally suspended for violating anti-doping rules ahead of her opening fight at the Paris Olympics, the International Testing Agency (ITA) said.

This is the third case of doping since the start of the Olympic Games, after Iraqi judoka Sajjad Sehen and Dominican volleyball player Lisvel Eve Mejia.

"A sample taken from boxer Cynthia Temitayo Ogunsemilore produced an adverse analytical finding for a specified prohibited substance, furosemide (classified as a Category S5 diuretic and masking agent according to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited Substances List)," the ITA wrote.
