French 2016 Olympic team champion Daniel Jerent has been dropped from the Tokyo Games squad for a positive doping test last November, the French Fencing Federation said Friday. Jerent, who served a year-long suspension in 2018/19 for three testing no shows, was to have competed in both the individual and team events this year. He is being replaced by Romain Cannone, with Ronan Gustin drafted as a standby for the team competition. tba/jf/cdw/gj
