Albanian weightlifter Hysen Pulaku has failed a drugs test and will not compete at the London 2012 Olympics.

The 20-year-old tested positive for the anabolic steroid stanozolol on July 23 and the International Olympic Committee confirmed Pulaku had been ejected.

IOC Communications Director, Mark Adams said: "We hope this will be a message that if you are doping we'll catch you.

"There are going to be 5,000 tests at these Games, so no-one should think they can get away with it."
