Japanese Greco-Roman wrestling champion Katsuya Kitamura has been banned for two years after testing positive for a muscle-building anabolic steroid, the Japan Wrestling Federation said on Monday.

Kitamura, 25, tested positive for drostanolone in two tests after triumphing in the 96-kilogramme category at a major national competition on April 29 and will be stripped of the title, the federation said.

He has represented Japan at two world championships, without winning a medal. He lost to Germany's Mirko Englich in their opening match at the worlds in Moscow last September.

Kitamura tested positive for drostanolone in two tests after posting a win in the 98-kg category.
