Erol Bilgin (born 20 February 1987) is a Turkish former weightlifter who competed in the 62 kg category. A two-time European champion and 2010 World bronze medalist.[1]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Bilgin was born in Kütahya, Turkey. He began lifting in 1998 at the Kütahya Gençlik Merkezi Sports Club and moved to Tarım Kredi S.K. in 2000. He was coached by Hilmi Pekünlü.[2]

He achieved his first major international title at the 2004 European Junior Weightlifting Championships in Burgas, winning gold. He later became European Youth and Under-16 Champion, and in 2010 won bronze at the 2010 World Weightlifting Championships in Antalya, lifting 143 kg in snatch and 171 kg in clean & jerk (314 kg total).[3]

Bilgin ranked 8th at the 2012 London Olympics,[4] but in 2020 the International Olympic Committee announced his disqualification after re-analysis of his 2012 samples detected Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (Oral Turinabol) and Stanozolol.[5]

He also represented Turkey at the 2008 European Weightlifting Championships in Lignano Sabbiadoro, lifting 135 kg in snatch and 160 kg in clean & jerk for 295 kg total and a silver medal.[6]

Bilgin’s consecutive gold medals at the 2009 Bucharest and 2010 Minsk European Championships established him among the best lightweight lifters of the late 2000s.[7]
