Belgian judo medalist Van Snick tests positive

BRUSSELS (AP) Olympic judo bronze medalist Charline Van Snick says she has tested positive for cocaine but maintained her innocence.

Van Snick says the international judo federation informed her of a positive urine test taken around the time of the world championships in Rio de Janeiro in August, where she also won bronze in the 48-kilogram division.

Van Snick told RTBF network "the news has totally stunned me."

She denies ever having knowingly taken illegal substances.
