Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) -- An artistic gymnast from Uzbekistan has been provisionally suspended from the London Olympics after testing positive for a banned substance, the International Olympic Committee said Sunday.

Luiza Galiulina, 20, was found to have taken furosemide, a diuretic that can mask the presence of other prohibited drugs, in a sample submitted Wednesday, the IOC said.

The decision on her disqualification can be adopted after reviewing her B-test.
