Igor Son of Kazakhstan competes in the men's 61kg weightlifting event, at the 2020 Summer Olympics, on July 25, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan. The Weightlifting Federation of the Republic of Kazakhstan (WFRK) said Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023, that Igor Son, who won the bronze in the men's 61-kilogram category in Tokyo, was among six weightlifters from the country to receive doping bans. It was first reported in March 2022 that they had tested positive in samples taken by Kazakhstan's anti-doping authorities. It's the second career doping ban for Son, who served a seven-month sanction in 2015. The WFRK said the positive test would not lead to Son being stripped of his Olympic medal. (AP Photo/Luca Bruno)

The sign reads &quot;Suspension of war practice against North Korea and withdrawal of the U.S. troops.&quot; (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon) ** FILE **
