The 31-year-old Georgian gets the suspension after missing three whereabouts reports during twelve months, starting in 2023.
Athletes must specify where they can be expected to be one hour during a day for an unannounced control. Something Kajaia reported, but he "could not be found with the information he provided", writes the organization.
The situation can be likened to the Swedish tennis profile Mikael Ymer, who also missed three whereabouts reports in a year – and was then banned for 18 months.
Now, therefore, the two-time Olympic athlete, Kajaia, gets suspended until April 2027 and has his results from 2024 removed.
The silver medal in the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021 was taken in the Greco-Roman style in the 130-kilo class. The gold was won by the Cuban Mijaín López.
