Why is he even allowed to compete?

he is not going to lift that. that's just for show. he will withdraw. he just registered here because he has to register in 6 IWF events for Olympic qualification.

so why allowing him to register when he announces his withdrawal , that's quite strange by IWF

because he was banned only for 2 years , which IWF called maximum allowed sanction

unfortunately there is nothing in the rules against registering like this and withdrawing. and for "registering" you have to participate in weight-in and make weight which he did . that's all he had to do to fulfill one of those 6 qualification events.

That´s so incrdeibliy sad. He´s like the most famous doper in weightlifting and he shows up at the world championship 2 years after he got busted.

Hashemi is a two time World Champion now this is great for an average weightlifter like him. we had so many much better weightlifters had to retire with only 1 or 2 bronze or silver.

 

happy for Beiralvand and his bronze medal. that last CJ lift was unexpected.

 

and Sohrab Moradi at 96kg lifted 20kg more than Hashemi here
