Mr. Sardar Hasanov is an Azerbaijan Athlete competing in the Men’s 62kg weightlifting event at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
In 2016, the IOC decided to perform further analyses on certain samples collected during the 2008 Olympic Games. These additional analyses were performed with analytical methods which were not available in 2008.
In May 2016 the International Olympic Committee reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his 2008 A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance
