"We are carrying out investigation on the issue of illicit medication found in the blood of Khizir Durgayev," Wrestling Federation vice-president Aydin Abbasov said.

He told APA-Sport that there many objective reasons why national team member Durgayev had failed the doping test.

Vice-president didn't rule out that the wrestler took the medication to stimulate his health while he was ill.

Abbasov said they will take concrete measures as soon as the investigation is over. Nevertheless, he said they have drawn all attention to the world championship to be held in September in Baku.

"I think such events shouldn't be considered too important. We will participate in the world championship in full strength. We have suitable wrestlers to replace Durgayev," he said.
