Slovenian ice hockey player Ziga Jeglic has failed a drugs test and been suspended, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Tuesday. He is the third doping case at the Winter Games. CAS said Jeglic had been ordered to leave the Olympic Village within 24 hours after testing positive for the banned drug fenoterol, which is used to treat breathing difficulties.
