Bulgaria National Weightlifting Team

Gymnastics and Strength Sports

The Bulgaria national weightlifting team was one of the most successful programs in the sport's history from the 1970s through the 2000s, winning numerous Olympic and World Championship titles and producing lifters who repeatedly broke world records. The program's legacy was significantly complicated by repeated doping scandals, including mass positive tests that led to the disqualification of much of the team and Bulgaria's withdrawal from or suspension by multiple Olympic Games, making it as notable for its record of sanctions as for its competitive success.
