Some countries were banned from competing at the championships due to their history of doping at previous Olympic Games. International Weightlifting Federation rules state that any country that had three positive tests uncovered by the International Olympic Committee during re-testing of stored urine samples for banned substances from the 2008 Olympic Games and 2012 Olympic Games would be banned. The banned countries are: Russia, Armenia, Turkey, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus and Azerbaijan.
