ATHENS, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- The Hellenic Olympic Committee (HOC) announced on Monday that it has asked a Greek athlete participating in the Paris Olympics Games to leave the Olympic Village after testing positive for doping.

HOC, according to the official announcement, was notified earlier on Monday by Greece's National Anti-Doping Organization (EOKAN) that the athlete tested positive and therefore immediately is suspended on a temporary basis.
