Romania cannot participate in the weightlifting event at the Tokyo Olympics after the country's governing body (FRH) was given a one-year ban by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) for past doping cases on Thursday.

Those included Romania's team of four - Florin Croitoru, Gabriel Sincraian, Razvan Martin and Roxana Cocos - that was disqualified from the London 2012 Olympics after various banned substances were found in re-testing of their samples.

"The FRH's case is grounded on five anti-doping rule violations that were committed in 2012 by five different athletes. The five ADRVs were for the presence of anabolic steroids detected in the athletes' samples." The decision comes as a blow to European champion Loredana-Elena Toma, who will lose a shot at an Olympic gold.

The ruling said the FRH had been suspended for a year from June 15, but could return after eight months provided it paid a $50,000 fine - to be spent on anti-doping activities - and met a number of other conditions.FROM THE ARCHIVES
