Lithuanian weightlifter achieved his worst result ever in international competitions (not that he had any chances anyway as he is in the B squad), but worth noting that he used to be coached by former Lithuanian Weightlifting federation president a.k.a. Most notorious Doping guru who got arrested last year after police raided his house/his son's house/his office and found 70+ kinds of doping.
