• German investigators make new allegations against IWF
The International Olympic Committee has expressed its concerns over “very serious and worrying” new allegations of doping and corruption in international weightlifting – which include claims that girl competitors as young as 13 have been encouraged to take banned drugs.
The IOC’s response follows a series of revelations on German TV, including that nearly half of the 450 world and Olympic weightlifting medallists between 2008 and 2018 did not undergo a single out-of-competition test in the year they stood on the podium.
