Meanwhile in Moldova …
Igor Bour, the 2013 Europeans 62kg silver medalist was banned for life by the IWF.
Now you might know the IWF rule that the second doping violation will get you banned for life.
Bour however already tested positive in 2004 and then again in 2008. So you might wonder how the hell did he compete in the 2013 Europeans when he should have been out by then?
Easy! He just changed his name and nobody noticed until now 😀
Gotta give it to him, that was pretty creative.
Hey IWF, you might want to watch out for lifters with Groucho glasses in the future.
Update: Igor is on the the 2014 Europeans Start List. Looks like they removed his ban.
Update: He is back on the sanctioned athletes list (2008) with a lifetime ban.
Update: YouTube Video
Funny
I lol’ed
I wonder if there will be any repercussions for Moldova, as they must have known what was going on. I’m actually surprised they let him try it.
Groucho glasses(those are scary), plastic surgery or a kickback. “Money can buy you most of anything. Fix your nose or the mess you’re in.” 😀
