Egypt’s appeal to lift the suspension and allow weightlifting champ Mohamed Ehab to join the Tokyo Olympics was officially declined by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
In 2019, less than a year before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, 5 weightlifters tested positive for banned substances at the Morocco Games, which lead to the banning of Egyptian weightlifters from participating in all activities of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) for two years.
