Olympics in brief

Discus thrower kicked out

Zoltan Kovago became the second Hungarian discus thrower to be kicked out of the Olympics on Thursday after he refused to undergo a drugs test, the country's athletics federation said.
Kogavo, who was a silver medallist at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, refused to provide a test sample, a move deemed as a positive test result, the domestic MASZ news agency reported, and he was suspended for two years.
Fellow discus thrower Robert Fazekas was last week also kicked off the team for the London Games.

Baydar, 29, won a silver medal in the 85 kilogram category during the European Championships in Antalya, Turkey earlier this year. Arat, 23, finished fourth in the 94 kilo class at the same championships.
