Rumors are swirling about multiple positive drug tests emerging from the 2006 Europeans Weightlifting Championships, but at this point they are only rumors.
The IWF Secretariat told IronMind® that there are pending cases, but because they are still in process, no statements can be made as this would be a violation of the testing protocol.
As part of its anti-doping policy, the IWF makes public such information as suspended competitors, countries tested, lifters tested, and so forth, and once the required steps are taken for the cases in question, the IWF said, the relevant information will be presented.
