Weightlifting
editBelarusian weightlifters have qualified a maximum of six men's and four women's quota places for the Rio Olympics based on their combined team standing by points at the 2014 and 2015 IWF World Championships. The team must allocate these places to individual athletes by 20 June 2016.[36]
On 22 June 2016, the International Weightlifting Federation had decided to strip of one Olympic men's and women's entry place each from Belarus because of "multiple positive cases" of doping throughout the qualifying period.[37]
