At the age of 50 this guy has done it again. He was initially placed 3rd but after the 1st (Bahrain) and 2nd (Egypt) place failed the doping test he was declared the winner yesterday.
Anwar from Egypt was ok with the result of sample A. however the winner of this category Elfarasani appealed and demanded B sample test. The test was help in Korea Seoul the same lab they did the A sample. And the result was out couple of day ago confirming the positive result.
The same incident happened to Shaht in 2002 after initially placing 3rd behind Stefan Orosz from Czech Republic who was 1st and Mariusz Strzelinski from Poland who finished 2nd. After the 1st and 2ns place failed the test he ended 1st. The show was help in Egypt.
Congrats Mr. 8 times world champion.
