Thailand is barring its weightlifters from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and all other international competitions, the association overseeing the sport said Friday, after several athletes tested positive for doping. The International Weightlifting Federation has vowed to clean up a sport that has grappled with rampant steroid use.
The eight Thai cases date to last year's championships in Turkmenistan and were detected in follow-up analysis after initial rounds of tests. In response the Thai Amateur Weightlifting Association said it was launching an investigation.
