PARIS — An Egyptian Olympic wrestler arrested in Paris on sexual assault charges has been released from police custody with all charges dropped, French prosecutors said. Tokyo bronze medal-winning wrestler Mohamed Ibrahim el-Sayed was arrested early Friday after allegedly groping a woman from behind outside a Paris cafe. A statement from the Paris prosecutor's office said Saturday that the police custody order for a 26-year-old Olympic wrestler from Egypt, who was not named, "has been lifted and all proceedings (against him) have been terminated without further action because the offence is insufficiently serious."
