Greco-Roman wrestler Taleb Nematpout has been banned for life after failing a second doping test.

In June 2014, the 29-year-old wrestler tested positive for the banned anabolic steroid trenbelone at the Greco-Roman World Cup held in Tehran in May.
Nematpour had announced his retirement from the sport at the age of 31 in November.
He won gold in the Greco-Roman 84 kilogram class at last year's world championships.
Moreover, Mohammad Hossein Mohammadian has been handed a four-year ban for doping offence.
Mohammadian claimed a bronze medal in the 86kg weight category in the 2014 World Championships in Tashkent.
