Artur Taymazov is a freestyle wrestler of Ossetian descent who represented Uzbekistan and later Russia, born in 1979. He became Uzbekistan's most decorated Olympian, but retesting of stored samples led to the withdrawal of his gold medals from the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games for doping violations, announced in 2017 and 2019, and both medals were reallocated to Russian wrestlers. He later entered politics and in 2016 was elected to the seventh State Duma of the Russian Federation for the United Russia party, representing North Ossetia-Alania.
