Moroccan boxer Hassan Saada is officially out of the Olympics.
He was arrested on Friday on allegations he sexually assaulted two Brazilian housekeepers in the Olympic Village. Police said the possible attacks happened on Wednesday. Under Brazilian law, suspects can be held for a long period while a case is examined.
With Saada out, Turkey’s Mehmet Nadir Una was declared a walkover winner and advanced to the round of 16 in the light heavyweight division.
