Olympic Games weightlifting doper Kostova tests positive again Sunday, 23 May 2021
Boyanka Kostova, one of the weightlifters disqualified from the London 2012 Olympic Games for doping, has tested positive a second time at the recent European Championships.
Kostova won the women’s 59kg gold medal in Moscow last month and is likely to forfeit that after traces of stanozolol were found in her sample, taken on April 5.
She also faces a ban of eight years for a second offence which, as she is 28, would effectively end a career that has brought her world titles and word records.
Kostova’s positive will be a huge embarrassment for Azerbaijan, the nation that paid a transfer fee to Bulgaria 10 years ago to enable her to switch nationalities.
