Saeid Mohammadpour finally received his gold medal from 2012 London Olympics officially today in Ashgabat after 6 years ! he originally finished 5th but top 4 all tested positive for doping :d I assume this is kind of a record to be upgraded from 5th place to gold medal.

 

this is a picture of him on the "podium"

Wait, he was in the Olympics as a 19-year old and since then had no international competition ever again? :yikes: 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

it seems Mohammadpour wasn't the only weightlifter receiving his medal in Ashgabat, Gulnoi (THA, 2012) and Ulanov (KAZ, 2016) also received their medals.

interesting that they only awarded the gold medal in that weight where all 3 medalists are disqualified now. no silver and bronze ? :mumble:

Maybe he was the only one who was not caught? :p

:d in Top 7 yes, but the South Korean 8th placer (upgraded to 2nd) also has a clean record. maybe he wasn't just there. it's not necessary to attend a ceremony to receive your medal. they can just send it to your home.

 

and as I asked before, no idea if Zielinksi really receives anything. :mumble:

 

funny that Ilya Ilyin himself was there in Ashgabat when they were awarding "his medal" to someone else :d

European youth champion, :BUL Dayana Dimitrova, receives a life ban from competing in international weightlifting after her second doping offense since April 2017. 

The Bulgarian weightlifting federation said that the 18-year-old Bulgarian had used a banned diuretic while training privately. Her coach said she had used the drug to lose weight before the competition in Poland.

Well that was a long international weightlifting career for Dimitrova. :p
