On March 22, 2022 local time, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport announced that Rio Olympics men's weightlifting champion Nidzat Rasimov will be banned for 8 years for taking banned drugs, canceling all his results from March 15, 2016 to January 18, 2021.
Lu Xiaojun, who competed in the 77 kg competition at the Rio Olympics at the time, broke the world record with 177 kg in the snatching link, and lifted 202 kg in the deadlift link, with a total result of 379 kg. At this time, Rasimov of Kazakhstan, who was 12 kilograms behind the "God of War", finally directly increased the weight of the deadlift to 214 kilograms, although he finally completed this move and got three white lights, but given that he had not been able to stand firm, it also became the focus of discussion behind the gold medal.
Now, Rasimov's results have been cancelled, which also means that the project's silver medalist, Chinese weightlifter Lu Xiaojun, is expected to earn a gold medal in the next round, thus achieving a triple Olympic championship.
Lu Xiaojun also thanked everyone on the social platform and hoped that everyone could continue to pay attention to China's weightlifting. The miracle comes from the same effort as always.
In addition, Chinese athletes are also expected to win 5 Olympic medals in just 3 days.
Over the years, Chinese athletes have won many reissued Olympic medals, in addition to the recent days and the more familiar Gong Lijiao, Zhang Wenxiu and Song Aimin respectively because the top athletes did not pass the drug test, so as to win the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games women's chain ball silver medal and women's discus bronze medal.
Justice and fairness will be late,
But never absent.
In fact, Chinese sports have always adhered to the concept of "taking clean gold medals". Zero tolerance has always been China's anti-doping stance, and throughout the 5 years of the Tokyo Olympic cycle, Chinese sports have been in a state of high pressure to strike hard. In addition to the international standards of punishment, we have introduced some "family laws". For example, not only athletes are punished, but also coaches and administrators are punished; athletes who are banned for more than one year cannot be selected for the national team for life. All of these aspects reflect China's determination to resolutely crack down on all types of doping violations. Let every medal china win be clean.
