Serious accusations against Tamás Recommend and MACS

Referring to ARD documents, he reported that systematic doping in weight lifting is known to the IWF. According to this, almost half of the medal weightlifters between 2008 and 2017 at the Olympics and World Championships were not checked during the preparation period at training camp.

"There were no doping controls because they knew they would have produced a positive result," Lydia Valentin said. The Spanish rider became 75kg gold medalist in the 2012 Games after being disqualified from the top three finishers in the follow-up.

According to ARD, the IWF has commissioned the Hungarian Anti-Doping Group (MACS) to oversee all major international competitions and almost all World Championships. An exception to this was the 2015 World Cup in Houston, where, according to German TV channel, despite the protests of Tamás recommendation, the American anti-doping agency took down doping samples and led to 24 catches.

Christian Baumgartner, chairman of the German Weightlifting Association, said that Tamás Recomm has built a system over the decades that has made it possible to conceal doping.

"It has created a culture of corruption," Baumgartner said.

ARD reported two Swiss bank accounts that received $ 23 million from 1992, which was not included in IWF's balance sheet. According to the channel, Tamás Tar had sole control over the accounts and the fate of $ 5.5 million was unclear.

Rattikan Gulnoi, a bronze medalist at the 2012 London Olympics, also told the ARD. A Thai weightlifter has claimed that he has been banned since the age of 18. He added that weight lifters were doped in his country after the age of 13.
