An Olympic worker disinfects and cleans the weightlifting bar after an athlete finished a lift at the Tokyo International Forum in Tokyo during the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympics on July 24, 2021. After decades of rampant doping, bribery, vote-rigging and corruption at weight lifting’s highest levels, the International Olympic Committee finally took action last year by threatening to drop the sport from the Games in the coming months if the International Weightlifting Federation does not introduce a host of fixes, including rigorous drug testing measures and governance reforms.
