Freestyle wrestler Mariana Cherdivara-Esanu has qualified for the Rio Olympic Games after Ukraine’s Oksana Herhel failed a dope test, IPN reports.

Last month, Cherdivara-Esanu lost to Herhel in the semifinal of the qualification tournament held in Serbia. At this competition, the Ukrainian athlete ranked second, while the athlete from Moldova finished third.

Wrestlers Evgheni Nedealco and Nicolai Ceban will represent Moldova at the Olympic Games in Brazil alongside Cherdivara-Esanu.
