10 Egyptian weightlifters test positive for banned substances

An Egyptian anti-doping committee said five weightlifters, including three women, tested positive for banned substances during a championship in March and have been temporarily suspended pending an investigation, Reuters reports. The committee’s report comes at the heel of a report from the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) that another five weightlifters, including two 14-year-old girls, also tested positive for steroids at the African Youth and Junior Championships in December, according to the newswire.
