RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — If you enjoyed weightlifting at the 2012 Olympics, you might be confused about where your favorites have gone.
The reigning gold, silver and bronze medalists weren't around Friday for the women's 75-kilogram class because they're all suspended. Spain's Lidia Valentin Perez was fourth in London in 2012, but is now waiting to see whether she'll be upgraded to top spot.
While Valentin Perez said she didn't want to talk about the doping threat to her sport after winning bronze Friday at her second Olympics, she has been vocal on social media.
"For a clean sport with values," reads a message she posted to Instagram shortly before the games, accompanied by the Olympic rings.
