After being stripped of two gold medals the team withdrew from further competition
Their athletes won gold in four of the classes, but were stripped of their medals in the 56kg and the 67.5kg classes after testing positive for Lasix (furosemide), a diuretic used to mask the use of performance enhancing drugs. After the positive tests, the Bulgarian weightlifting team withdrew all their other lifters from the remainder of the competition in Seoul.
