Georgian weightlifter

Albert Kuzilov (Georgian: ალბერტ კუზილოვი; born February 5, 1985) is a Georgian weightlifter. He won a bronze medal for the 105:kg cl* at the 2009 World Weightlifting Championships in Goyang, South Korea, with a total of 408:kg. In early 2010, Kuzilov ordered a two-year disqualification from the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), after he tested positive for an anabolic * metandienon.

Kuzilov represented Georgia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's heavyweight category (105:kg). Kuzilov placed seventh in this event, as he successfully lifted 182:kg in the single-motion snatch, and hoisted 227:kg in the two-part, shoulder-to-overhead clean and jerk, for a total of 409:kg. Kuzilov was later elevated to a higher position, when Ukraine's Ihor Razoronov had been disqualified from the Olympics, after he tested positive for nandrolone.
