The Azerbaijan Weightlifting Federation will be completely
reorganized, Trend reports.
President of the federation Jahangir Asgarov signed a
corresponding order on this.
In accordance with the order, head coach Asif Mammadov and
Secretary-General Rizvan Rasulov were also removed from their
positions in the federation.
“The decision to reorganize was made due to the dishonest
performance of their official duties by officials of the
federation. Despite numerous orders from management to improve the
situation, employees continued to be negligent in their work,” he
said.
The irresponsible attitude of the federation workers, as well as
the disregard of anti-doping rules by our athletes, led to
significant penalties from the International Weightlifting
Federation (IWF).
In the last period alone, the International and European
Weightlifting Federations recorded six cases of doping by
Azerbaijani weightlifters.
“The steps and actions taken did not lead to a positive result
and did not correct the situation. In this regard, I made a
decision to completely reorganize the Azerbaijan Weightlifting
Federation. I hope that these changes will help us achieve better
sports results in the future,” said Asgarov.
According to him, a new head coach and secretary-general of the
federation will be appointed by the end of September 2021.
