Fischer won an EM medal as Fischerow

After changing the nationality to Bulgaria, David Fischer received the new name Fischerow in the row up to 102 kg of silver in thrust (210 kg).

The 22-year-old has changed due to a dispute with the Austrian Federation. Fisher, who also has a Bulgarian fiancee, is said to have missed four doping tests, but the criminal investigation was dropped. According to the report published on the website “insidethegames.biz”, Fisher and his sister Sarah are also accused by the association of using non-banned amphetamines during training and previous cooperation with a coach who was banned by the ÖGV.

Once before, Matthias Steiner, from Steamer, had turned away from the ÖGV. Then he won the Olympic gold medal in the super heavyweight category for Germany in 2008.

Today this category is dominated by the Georgian Lascha Talachadze. In EM, he set two world records in snatch (222 kg) and dueling (485).
