Kazakh media is reporting Sedov tested positive in the 2008 retests. 

 

Besides, I doubt they'd select him anyway after his protest against Ilyin at Kazakh nationals

Actually Sedov is banned for disciplinary reason, during Kazakh nationals he showed up with a T-shirt shoeing Alexander Ivanov's picture with something like this "The True Olympic Champion" referring to Ilyin as a cheater. (Ivanov from RUS finished 2nd behind Ilyin)

Tian Tao vs Rostami I think?  

 

And I think there's a big battle in men's +105kg coming up with Salimi and the Georgian guy?

I'll go and agree with phelps' theory... That he was caught once again, but it will never become official to the rest of the World...
