Bulgarian weightlifter Bozhidar Dimitrov Andreev has been banned for four years after testing positive for an anabolic steroid, the International Testing Agency announced on Friday. Andreev, who won a medal in the men's 73kg category at the 2024 Paris Olympics, competed on August 8, 2024, in Paris, France.
The ban, which stems from a doping violation involving an anabolic steroid, was confirmed by the Associated Press on November 6, 2026. The sanction removes Andreev's Olympic result and prohibits him from competition for four years.
