President of the organization Jahangir Asgarov signed a relevant order.

According to Offsideplus.az, head coach Asif Mammadov and secretary-general Rizvan Rasulov were removed from their positions in the Federation.

The decision to reorganize was made by the officials of the Federation in connection with the poor performance of official duties. Despite numerous instructions from management to improve the situation, employees continued to be negligent in their work.

The irresponsible attitude of the Federation's staff, as well as the disregard for the anti-doping rules of our athletes, led to the imposition of severe fines by the International Weightlifting Federation.

Only recently, the International and European Weightlifting Federations have registered six cases of doping in Azerbaijani weightlifters.

"The steps taken and the measures taken did not lead to a positive result and did not improve the situation. In this regard, I have decided to completely reorganize the Azerbaijan Weightlifting Federation. I hope that these changes will help us achieve better sports results in the future, "said Jahangir Asgarov.
 
The new head coach and secretary general of the federation will be appointed by the end of September.
