MOSCOW -- China is facing a one-year ban from weightlifting over repeated doping cases in a move that threatens to stop some of the worlds top athletes from competing internationally. Martin Brodeur Jersey .The International Weightlifting Federation confirmed Thursday that three failed retests of drug test samples from the 2008 Beijing Olympics will lead to Chinas automatic ban -- if the cases are proved and the athletes in question disqualified by the International Olympic Committee.IWF spokeswoman Lilla Rozgonyi told The Associated Press that the positive tests for gold medalists Cao Lei, Chen Xiexia and Liu Chunhong, all announced Wednesday, were enough for a ban under rules adopted by the IWF board in June.It happens automatically. The vote was already taken so now we only need to receive the closed cases from the IOC to proceed, Rozgonyi said in an email.China is the worlds dominant country in weightlifting, having topped the medal table at every Olympics since 2000. It won seven medals in Rio de Janeiro this month, five of them gold.Weightlifting is fighting a severe doping crisis, with as many as 16 medals from 2008 and 13 from 2012 likely to be stripped following failed drug retests. In addition, last years world championships in Houston saw mass drug test failures, and one medal from the 2016 Olympics has already been taken away after bronze medalist Izzat Artykov of Kyrgyzstan tested positive for the banned substance strychnine.
