Tunisia still can send someone else , the quota belongs to the NOC, not the wrestler.

 

but if they don't, there is nobody else in African qualifier to replace him. only 2 wrestlers finished the competition in that weight. (2 more guys were there but they got disqualified for not finishing the round robin competition) 

 

per rules, this should become a universality quota but I think it's impossible to go through that process in such a short time. therefore this goes to the next best ranked wrestler at the 2023 World Championships which is Lithuania.

 

but I also think it's possible if they do it with 15 wrestlers. (which means seed #1 will get a bye in the first round)

Yes it's official, 

 

The wrestler has been suspended for 4 years due to a violation of anti-doping rules. The incident dates back 8 months when members of ANAD - the National Anti-Doping Agency - went to the elite center to test the athlete. The athlete was in his room and did not come out until 7 PM (the ANAD members had been there since the morning). Finally, the athlete took the test, which came back negative. Initially, the athlete was provisionally suspended but was eventually exonerated after presenting a medical prescription proving he was taking medication to help him sleep and had slept all day. Subsequently, ANAD reported the matter to WADA, which filed a complaint with the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Ultimately, they decided to suspend the athlete for 4 years.
