Jan 19 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan weightlifter Nijat Rahimov, a gold medallist at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, has been charged with a doping offence for swapping urine samples, the International Testing Agency (ITA) has said.
The ITA also charged Dumitru Captari of Romania who competed alongside Rahimov in the under-77 kg event in Rio de Janeiro - with offences that took place “over a period of time in 2016”.
Both athletes have been provisionally suspended but it is unclear if the allegations span the 2016 Rio Games where Rahimov claimed gold with a world record lift.
“During the investigation of the incident the athlete is temporarily suspended from all sports events and training camps,” Kazakhstan’s weightlifting federation (WFRK) said in a statement.
