Rahimov, now 28, won the Olympic gold in the under-77kg category with a world record at the time with 214kg.
But the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) considered on Tuesday that Rahimov had replaced his urine on four occasions, and considered resorting to this method to be in violation of the laws, and he was suspended for eight years, starting from last January, and all his results were canceled from March 2016 to January 2021.
