ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A Greek athlete at the Paris Games has tested positive in a doping test and has been asked to leave the athletes’ village, Greece’s Olympic committee said in a statement Monday.

The Hellenic Olympic Committee said it was informed of the positive result by Greece’s anti-doping agency. The athlete was automatically given a temporary ban.

The HOC did not identify the athlete or which sport they were competing in.
