Swimmer Chen Xinyi, meanwhile, accepted a ''provisional suspension on a voluntary basis'' after testing positive for a diuretic. CAS says the case will continue, with a final decision to be issued before the end of the games.
The 18-year-old Chen's Olympics are now over anyway. She finished fourth in the 100-meter butterfly on Sunday and pulled out before Friday's 50-meter freestyle, her final event.

Another day, another Olympic record for Marcus Fraser of Australia.
Of course, with golf back in the Olympics for the first time in more than a century, new marks will be set after each of the four rounds.
Marcus followed his opening-round 63 with a 2-under 69 on Friday for a one-shot lead over Thomas Pieters of Belgium at the halfway point. He was at 10-under 132.
Henrik Stenson was two shots behind, and his second round did not lack of excitement. The British Open champion was caught in the worst of the rain early in his round, but he escaped the bad conditions by making a 108-foot par putt. Stenson calls it the longest putt of his career.
He wound up with 68.
The Americans showed signs of life, except for Rickie Fowler. He shot a 71 and was 14 shots out of the lead. That means Fowler likely will go home with plenty of selfies, just no medal.

Andy Murray has rallied from down a break in the final set for the second straight day to keep alive his chances of becoming the first tennis player to win back-to-back Olympic singles gold medals.
The heavy favorite after top-ranked Novak Djokovic lost in the first round, Murray beat 22nd-ranked American Steve Johnson 6-0, 4-6, 7-6 (2) in the quarterfinals Friday. It was eerily similar to his match Thursday against second-seeded Fabio Fognini, who dominated the first set only to drop the second and go down a break in the third.
Johnson was two games from victory, serving at 4-3 in the final set, but Murray broke back then saved a break point in the next game. He jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the third-set tiebreaker on the way to clinching a spot in the medal rounds.
