2008 Olympics

The country was initially supposed to be represented by a full weightlifting team of 6 athletes at the men's competition, along with two women. However, Bulgaria later announced that it was withdrawing its entire weightlifting delegation, due to all its weightlifters having tested positive for a banned anabolic steroid substance.^[2]
