World number one bridge player handed one-year ban for doping

(UTV|COLOMBO) – Bridge authorities should look at the sport’s “totally unsuitable” anti-doping rules after world number one Geir Helgemo was banned for a year, says the Monaco Bridge Federation.

Helgemo, who is Norwegian but represents Monaco in the card game, tested positive for banned substances Clomifene – a female fertility drug – and synthetic testosterone.

His ban will expire on 20 November.
