Olympic bronze medalist weightlifter Andreev has been handed a four-year doping ban, though he will retain his Olympic medal, according to a report from The Independent.
The sanction was announced on Friday, November 6, 2026. While the specific substance or violation was not detailed in the initial report, the decision means Andreev will be ineligible for competition for four years.
Notably, the ruling does not include the stripping of his Olympic bronze medal, which he will keep despite the doping violation.
