I sit down with professional Olympic Weightlifter Vadim Kozevnikovs and listen as he tells me the outrageous story behind his recent disqualification by the Latvian Weightlifting Federation.

Vadim is a 27-year-old full time weightlifter who has represented Latvia at 5 European Championships and 2 World Championship competitions. His best total is 372kg, with a 164kg Snatch and a 208kg Clean & Jerk.

In the beginning of May 2021 Vadim received an email at 10pm one night, telling him that he was disqualified from competing for the Latvian Weightlifting Federation. He was given no reason why and has received no answer to his appeals for information.

This is his story...
