Using doping and then bombing out at world champs, epic fail (Captari)

[MHSN 3,813]

This is the 2nd time Albania winning its first ever world championship medal and then losing it for doping violation !!

 

Didzbalis failing doping means a bronze medal for Qatar and our Mousavi will be upgraded to silver from bronze.

 

Begaj won silver over USA and Colombia, they will get silver and bronze.

 

and I hope for no more doping violation.

3/4 former dopers. Maybe all.

 

Weighlifting is in a state of disrepair.
