Artur Taymazov (Шаблон:Lang-os; Шаблон:Lang-ru; born 20 July 1979) is Uzbek-Russian wrestler and politician. He was Uzbekistan's most decorated Olympian before being stripped of two gold medals for doping.[1] In 2016, he was elected to the 7th State Duma of the Russian Federation representing United Russia.[2]
On 5 April 2017, it was announced that as a result of retesting samples he had been disqualified from the 2008 Olympics for a drug violation, and his gold medal was withdrawn.[3] On 23 July 2019, it was announced that as a result of retesting samples he had been disqualified from the 2012 Olympics for a drug violation, and his gold medal from that event was also withdrawn.[4] As both of his gold medals were re-allocated to Russian wrestlers, Taymazov said he was nonetheless happy to "bring" two golds to Russia.[5]
Early life
In childhood, he was doing weightlifting but when he turned 11, a freestyle wrestling club opened in his village and he decided to wrestle. His older brother Tymur Taymazov was a 1996 Olympic Games champion in weightlifting, competing for Ukraine.

Making his Olympic debut in Sydney in 2000, he won Uzbekistan's first Olympic wrestling medal in the 130 kg weight class, losing to Russian David Musul'bes in the final.

After his second olympic title in Beijing, he was honored in his country by the Buyuk Hizmatlari Uchun Order[6] ("For Outstanding Services").
His urine sample was retested in 2016, and he was found to be taking a banned substance. Taymazov was stripped of his medal with his 2008 results disqualified.[7]

At the 2012 Games in London, he won his third consecutive Gold Medal by beating Davit Modzmanashvili of Georgia in the final 2–0.
