France's Zelimkhan Khadjiev, who won bronze in the men's 74 kilograms freestyle category, Khasanboy Rakhimov of Uzbekistan - a 125kg freestyle bronze medallist - and fellow 125kg competitor Badkha Khutaba of Syria all tested positive for a banned substance.

The tests were carried out by the International Testing Agency (ITA) and the trio have now had their results from Nur-Sultan in September disqualified.

The top six wrestlers in each weight category at the World Championships qualified for the Olympic Games this summer, and the disqualification of the three wrestlers who tested positive means these qualification berths have been re-allocated.

In the 74kg category, Poland receive France's Tokyo 2020 place thanks to the efforts of Kamil Rybicki, the next highest-ranked athlete from the World Championships.

Up at 125kg, Egzon Shala of Kosovo and Iran's Yadollah Mohammadkazem Mohebbi now occupy places in the top six and therefore secure an Olympic spot.

News of Khadjiev's failed test first emerged in December and he was provisionally suspended.

Disciplinary proceedings are being handled by the ITA and are "still pending", says UWW.

A further 10 Tokyo 2020 spots in each wrestling division remain up for grabs. 

Two will be earned at a world qualifier, two at the European qualifier, two at the Asian qualifier, two at a qualifier for both Africa and Oceania and two at a qualifying event for the Americas.

There will be 18 gold medals awarded in wrestling at Tokyo 2020.
