Sohrab Moradi (Persian: سهراب مرادی, born 22 September 1988) is a current world record holding retired Iranian [1] weightlifter who won the gold medal in the 94 kg weight division at the 2016 Olympics.[2] He currently holds the world record with a total of 417kg in the 94kg weight class.[3] He formerly held world records in the snatch and clean and jerk categories. He was the Asian champion in the 85 kg weight class in 2009 and 2012.[4][2][5]

In 2013, he was banned from the sport for two years for doping, after testing positive for methadone.[6] Any opioid, in general, causes suppression of testosterone and therefore, it is likely that individuals entering methadone treatment already have reduced testosterone levels.
