Sohrab Moradi

Sohrab Moradi (Persian: سهراب مرادی, born 22 September 1988) is a current world record holding retired Iranian weightlifter who won the gold medal in the 94 kg weight division at the 2016 Olympics. He currently holds the world record with a total of 417kg in the 94kg weight class. He formerly held world records in the snatch and clean and jerk categories. He was the Asian champion in the 85 kg weight class in 2009 and 2012.

In 2013, he was banned from the sport for two years for doping, after testing positive for methadone. Any opioid, in general, causes suppression of testosterone and therefore, it is likely that individuals entering methadone treatment already have reduced testosterone levels.
