The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang reportedly had its first failed doping test.

The New York Times' Juliet Macur reported that Saito tested positive for a masking agent and had left the Olympic village.
According to USA Today's Martin Rogers, the failed test will be something on a blemish for the Japanese, as they have prided themselves on clean competition, even pitching to host the 2020 Olympics on the strength of clean competition.

Seito will be excluded from the short-track program.
