Russian curler Alexander Krushel-Nitsky has finally been stripped of his winter Olympics bronze medal after being found guilty of doping.

The 25-year-old was one of 168 Russians allowed to compete as neutrals at the games despite the country being banned for previous doping offences.

Krushel-nitsky, who won mixed-doubles bronze with wife Anastasia Bryzgalova, tested positive for Meldonium.

The court of arbitration for sport said he admitted the anti-doping violation.

With the third place now annulled, the bronze medal is officially re-allocated and will go to Norway.
