BEIJING (AP)—Dzhakhon Kurbanov, the light heavyweight from Tajikistan who bit his opponent on the shoulder in a quarterfinal bout, won’t face additional sanctions or suspension by the International Boxing Association (AIBA).

Spokesman Richard Baker said Wednesday that Kurbanov’s disqualification from the Olympic boxing tournament will be his only punishment for the bizarre infraction, which occurred with 17 seconds left in the third round of his bout with Kazakhstan’s Yerkebulan Shynaliyev.
