Update on Olympic Quotas due to Doping Violations

May 31, 2019 By Gregor Winter 4 Comments

As you have read in the ATG Guide to Olympic Qualification:

Countries whose athletes have consistently been popped will lose spots. Or, framed another way, all countries (NOC/MF) start with two spots (one man, one woman) and countries with better WADA records earn more spots (subject to the IWF Anti-Doping policy), up to the eight total possible lifters.

    Bittersweet I would say. Lots of great lifters with medal-winning potential will not get the chance to compete. On the other hand, I would say it’s good that doping violations actually lead to ramifications.
