I disagree JJ

Iran has a regionally good BB team. Historically good martial arts and wrestling teams, too. Historically good at football, too. 

These athletes being found guilt of PED is not particularly noteworthy on a global scale, considering all the other doping scandals to rack the sporting world- especially olympic and professional sports in the US.

در افتضاح بی سابقه دوپینگ وزنه برداری ایران علی حسینی پرده از دوپینگ رضازاده برداشت سه‌شنبه، ۰۶ بهمن ۱۳۸۸ / ۲۶ ژانویه ۲۰۱۰

علی حسینی، وزنه بردار فوق سنگین ایران که به علت دوپینک ممکن است تا ابد از وزنه برداری محروم شود،  به حسین رضا زاده سرپرست فدراسیون وزنه برداری حمله کرد و این کار را طرح رضازاده  برای خارج کردن وی از دور رقابتها دانست.  او روز دوشنبه ۵ بهمن به خبرگزاری ورزش رژیم گفت: «خیلی جالب است یکدفعه آقایان می گویند هر دو نمونه گرفته شده از من مثبت اعلام شده درحالی که سایت فدراسیون جهانی هنوز خبر مثبت بودن نمونه اول مرا هم تائید نکرده است. با این وجود قسم می خورم هیچ داروی غیر مجازی استفاده نکردم. من پاک هستم و این ماجرا را از همه راه های ممکن پیگیری می کنم تا مشخص شود چه توطئه ای کرده اند که نابودم کنند». سعید علی حسینی اضافه کرد:

Isn't Rezazadeh (x-world/olympic champ) head of weighlifting?

by Anonymouse on

WTF is he doing?  This is all going to fall on his shoulders.  BTW he voted for Ahmadi. Not that there is anything wrong with it :-)

There are few sports Iranians are really good at on the international stage. Weightlifting has been one of them. Clearly these athletes have talent but lack coaches and trainers who won't cut corners and cheat. Very sad.
