After winning a European title in 2008, Modzmanashvili tested positive for a banned substance. He was stripped of his gold medal and received a two-year suspension.[2]

Doping violation

Modzmanashvili initially won on a silver medal for Georgia at the 2012 Olympics.

He was subsequently stripped of his Olympic silver medal and banned for 6 years.[6][7]
