Zbigniew Tadeusz Kaczmarek (31 July 1946 – 15 May 2023) was a Polish weightlifter who competed in the 1972 Summer Olympics, in the 1976 Summer Olympics, and in the 1980 Summer Olympics.[1]
At the 1976 Summer Olympics, the first Olympics to test for
anabolic steroids, he won the gold medal but tested positive for said substances and therefore was disqualified for doping. He was stripped of his gold medal and suspended.[2][3]
Kaczmarek died on 15 May 2023, at the age of 76.[4]
