In 2025, Georgian wrestler Avtandil Kentchadze was sanctioned after testing positive for the prohibited substance clomifene. The positive results came from two in-competition samples collected on 31 October 2024 during the Senior World Championships and on 13 January 2025 during the 2025 Georgian National Wrestling Championships. The International Testing Agency (ITA), acting on behalf of United World Wrestling (UWW), imposed a 20-month period of ineligibility from 25 May 2025 until 24 January 2027, while his competitive results from 31 October 2024 to 4 September 2025 were disqualified.[4]
