"A decision will be taken hopefully tomorrow," the CAS secretary general, Jean-Philipe Rochat, said.The International Olympic Committee announced on Sunday that Korneyev and Gulyov tested positive for bromantan Gulyov lost his bronze in the light-flyweight class.

Pitcher Seth Greisinger gave up just two hits in seven innings and Travis Lee hit a three-run first-inning home run to lift the United States to a 10-3 victory over Nicaragua yesterday to clinch the bronze medal.
