Games-Malaysian wushu gold medallist Tai tests positive at Asian Games

INCHEON, South Korea, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Tai Cheau Xuen, who won a gold medal in wushu for Malaysia at the Asian Games, has been expelled from the event and stripped of her medal because of a failed drugs test. The Olympic Council of Asia announced on Tuesday that Tai had tested positive for the banned stimulant sibutramine. She was automatically disqualified and stripped of her accreditation. Tai was the third athlete to fail a doping test at the 17th Asian Games, which end in South Korea on Saturday. (Editing by Greg Stutchbury)
