Saeid Alihosseini (fa|سعيد علی حسينی, born 2 February 1988) is a former Iranian super heavyweight weightlifter. He failed two doping tests in 2006 and October 2009; the latter was originally a lifetime ban, but was reduced upon first appeal to 12 years; in 2011, the ban was reduced to eight years.
Saeid had failed two doping tests in 2006 and October 2009;[3] the latter was originally a lifetime ban, but was reduced upon first appeal to 12 years.[4] In 2011, after it was discovered that his coach (who had been banned himself) was doping his athletes without their knowledge, the ban was reduced to eight years.[5]
In 2017 he was eligible to return to international competition, and competed at the 2017 World Weightlifting Championships. He won bronze medals in the snatch and clean & jerk, and after his teammate Behdad Salimi had his final clean and jerk overturned by the jury[6] Saeid won the silver medal.[7]
In 2018 Saeid was originally going to compete at the 2018 World Weightlifting Championships, but an injury forced him to withdraw from the competition.[8] [9]
In November 2019, Alihosseini announced his retirement from the sport after losing hope of competing in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.[10]
