    Rio Olympic relay swimmer and 2009 world champion Junya Koga is set to be issued a four-year ban by a FINA doping panel for violating anti-doping rules, sources familiar with the matter said late Monday evening.

    Should the sport’s ruling body announce the decision, the 31-year-old Koga, who said in a hearing in late August that the positive test resulted from taking dietary supplements, will be shut out of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

    According to sources, Koga sought a reduction in sanction at the hearing before an impartial panel in late August, but his request was rejected. He claimed he did not act intentionally.

    Authorities say two swimmers drowned while trying to rescue another man who was saved by police.

    The men were all swimming in the Thornes Creek in Hazlet, N.J., when one of them started yelling for help around 2:40 p.m. Sunday. The two other men went to help the man who was struggling but they soon went under water and didn’t surface.

    Police responding to the scene soon found the swimmer who had been in distress. He was located near the water’s edge and was taken to a hospital, but further information on his condition was not disclosed.

    The bodies of the two other swimmers were found later Sunday. Their names have not been released.
