First big scandal in mixed-doubles curling
Aleksandr Krushelnitckii, an Olympic curler from Russia, left the Pyeongchang Winter Games on Sunday after a positive preliminary test for the banned substance meldonium.
The Russian Federation must provide an explanation of how a banned drug is found in the blood of an athlete. Additionally, Krushelnitckii won a bronze medal last week with his wife in mixed-doubles curling, after the race they immediately left the Olympic Village.
