This is the first time women's wrestling has been included at the Olympics.

In another case, Hungarian hammer throw champion Adrian Annus will travel to Athens to testify before an International Olympic Committee disciplinary hearing on Sunday, said Pal Schmitt, head of Hungary's Olympic Committee.

Annus failed to show up for a drug test at a crossing point along the Hungarian-Austrian border on Friday.

"He was not in the physical condition," Schmitt said of the missed test. "He wants to come to explain."

Annus tested negative after he won the medal on August 22. The IOC wants to find out whether he provided his own urine for the test or whether he tried to beat the screening system, as teammate and discus gold medallist Robert Fazekas allegedly did. Fazekas lost his gold medal after Olympic authorities said he failed to provide enough urine for a drug test, a charge Fazekas disputes.

Schmitt said the Fazekas case will go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

"We think there could be a kind of investigation exactly how the procedure went on in the sample taking," Schmitt said.
