The doping scandal has come to Azerbaijan after five weightlifters were disqualified until 2023 by the decision of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), and one - until 2019.Athletes are convicted of doping use last year's World Cup in Houston, said the IWF. In particular, up to 2023 have been disqualified Elkhan Aligulizade, Silvia Angelova, Firudin Guliyev, Valentin Hristov, and Intigam Zaire. Until 2019 was Dadash Dadashbeyli disqualified. Hrist is the bronze medalist of the 2012 Olympic Games. The Ministry of Youth and Sports of Azerbaijan was not able to accept the blame for the incident and trying to justify himself. The Ministry on the occasion of the report states that "Despite the necessary work, unfortunately, in some cases inadvertently because of some liquid or food athletes often become doping offenders. We call on athletes to the maximum careful. We are concerned about this incident and measures will be taken in this direction," the report says. However, the ministry did not rule out appeal on the decision on disqualification of Azerbaijani weightlifters. The Weightlifting Federation is headed by the head of the CJSC "Azerbaijan Airlines" Jahangir Hajiyev.-06D-
