Wait, he was in the Olympics as a 19-year old and since then had no international competition ever again? thiago_simoes 1 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!

MHSN 3,221 Posted November 8, 2018 #105 Share Posted November 8, 2018 it seems Mohammadpour wasn't the only weightlifter receiving his medal in Ashgabat, Gulnoi (THA, 2012) and Ulanov (KAZ, 2016) also received their medals. https://www.iwf.net/2018/11/08/three-lifters-awarded-olympic-medals/ interesting that they only awarded the gold medal in that weight where all 3 medalists are disqualified now. no silver and bronze ?

Wumo 2,796 Posted December 7, 2018 #108 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) European youth champion, 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. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-weightlifting-bulgaria/fresh-blow-for-bulgaria-as-youth-champion-banned-for-life-over-doping-idUSKBN1O61RL Well that was a long international weightlifting career for Dimitrova.
