Galabin Boevski, an Olympic gold medallist, was arrested at São Paulo's international airport after trying to board a plane bound for Spain with 9kg of cocaine, Bulgaria's foreign ministry said on Thursday.
Boevski, who won lightweight gold at the Sydney Games in 2000, was stopped by Brazilian anti-drugs officers on Monday and the cocaine was found in his luggage. He faces up to 15 years in jail.
Boevski was banned for eight years for doping by the International Weightlifting Federation in 2004 after tampering with his urine sample at the 2003 world championships.
It was the second time he had committed a doping office since 1995. The Bulgarian, 37 in December, also won gold at the world championships in 1999 and 2001, and at the European championships in 1999, 2002 and 2003.
He was named Bulgaria's athlete of the year in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
