The World Bridge Federation says the world's number one bridge player has been suspended after failing a drug test.
Geir Helgemo, who is Norwegian but represents Monaco in bridge events, tested positive for banned substances at a World Bridge Series event in Orlando, Florida, last September.
After accepting he had breached anti-doping rules, Helgemo was suspended by the WBF until November 20. He also had all titles, medals and points from the 2018 World Bridge Series revoked.
The World Bridge Federation is recognised by the International Olympic Committee and abides by World Anti-Doping Agency rules.
