Meanwhile in IOC News…
Weightlifting is no longer conditional and will be included in the Paris 2024 Olympics!
Update: Official post on the Olympics website.
The IOC EB decided at its meeting today to lift the status of conditional inclusion of weightlifting in the programme of the Olympic Games #Paris2024, subject to a number of conditions. #IOCEB

I’m curious to see what the conditions are.
Background: After all the re-test positives the International Olympic Committee put weightlifting on the “conditional” list for the 2024 Olympics, meaning that there was a good chance that it will be dropped from the olympics.
