The Latest: Russia bobsledder admits doping, is disqualified

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):

A Russian bobsledder who tested positive for a banned substance at the Pyeongchang Olympics has admitted doping and been disqualified from the games.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport says Nadezhda Sergeeva has accepted a provisional suspension but reserves the right "to seek the elimination or reduction" of her expected ban from the sport.

Sergeeva, who wore a T-shirt at the start of the games that said "I don't do doping," was the second Russian to test positive at the Olympics. She placed 12th in her event.
