Following the incident that took place at the end of the quarter-final between Teddy Riner (FRA) and Guram Tushishvili (GEO) in the +100 kg weight category, the behaviour of the Georgian judoka was against the 'spirit of judo,’ an ad hoc disciplinary commission was called immediately together to investigate the situation.
The following decisions were taken:
- Guram Tushishvili is suspended from the individual competition and will not be allowed to compete in the repechage.
- Guram Tushishvili is suspended from participating in the mixed team event to be held on 3rd August 2024.
- Guram Tushishvili is suspended from participating in any international judo competition until the IJF Disciplinary Commission meets to give a final decision. Further investigations will be conducted to determine what happened.
The Georgian delegation and the athletes were informed of the decisions.
