    Three days after failing to qualify for the Olympic Games in the 2nd World Olympic Qualifier in Turkey, Frank Molinaro received news that he was awarded a spot in the Rio Olympics.

    On Wednesday, United World Wrestling announced doping violations at the European Olympic Games Qualifier for 65-kilo wrestlers Magomedmurad Gadzhiev of Poland and Andriy Kvyatkovskyy of Ukraine. Their results have been wiped and Olympic licenses revoked.

    The doping violations resulted in Molinaro earning an Olympic berth at 65 kilos following a bronze-medal finish at the 2nd World Olympic Qualifier.

    The United States has now qualified all six men's freestyle weight classes for the Olympic Games.
