Weightlifter Revaz Davitadze and wrestler Nika Kentchadze were among four Georgian athletes handed four-year suspensions after the Court of Arbitration for Sport disagreed with a civil court ruling that they tested positive for a banned substance after their drinks were spiked.

Davitadze, who won a silver medal at the 2024 world weightlifting championships, and Kentchadze, a bronze medallist in the 2021 world wrestling championships, tested positive for the prohibited substance ostarine in 2023.

The Georgian Anti-Doping Agency (GADA) and WADA suspended them for four years, but a Georgian civil court ruled in June 2024 that a person had added ostarine to their drinking water. GADA's disciplinary committee later annulled their suspensions.
