Russia's two-times Olympic champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev will not be allowed to compete in the European OG Qualifiers in Baku after United World Wrestling (UWW) on Thursday found new information about his support of the Ukraine-Russia war.

The sport's governing body said that the 27-year-old, who won gold at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro and at Tokyo 2020, failed to meet the eligibility criteria set by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for Individual Neutral Athletes.
