Russian weightlifter Albegov suspended in doping case
Budapest - Al Maghrib Today
Russian weightlifter and Olympic medalist Ruslan Albegov has been suspended on suspicion of doping.
The International Weightlifting Federation says Albegov has been charged with violating a rule banning the “use or attempted use by an athlete of a prohibited substance or a prohibited method.”
Albegov remains suspended ahead of a final ruling on his case.
Albegov is Russia’s only remaining men’s weightlifting medalist from the 2012 Olympics, where he took bronze in the over 105-kilogram category. Five of the six other Russian lifters who competed at the 2012 Olympics have since been disqualified.
Russia’s entire weightlifting team was banned from last year’s Olympics for repeated doping cases.
Russia is one of nine countries serving a separate one-year ban from all international competitions for violating doping rules at previous Olympics.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
