(Reuters) - Kazakh weightlifter Igor Son, who won bronze at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, has been banned for eight years for doping but will not be stripped of his medal, the country's weightlifting federation (WFRK) said on Wednesday.
Son, who won bronze in the men's 61kg category, was among six weightlifters to receive doping bans after they had tested positive for banned substances in March 2022. No substances were specified but the WFRK said it would investigate internally.
