Rahimov has been charged with swapping his urine samples in a doping case that could threaten his gold medal. The International Testing Agency says it charged Rahimov with “an anti-doping rule violation for ‘Urine Substitution’ which would have occurred over a period of time in 2016.” It is unclear if the allegations span the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Rahimov took gold with a world record lift in the men’s 77-kilogram class. (AP Photo/Mike Groll, File)
