Harun Doğan (1 January 1976 in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey) is a Turkish retired World and European champion sports wrestler competing in the -58 kg division of men's freestyle wrestling. He was coached by Avni Tarhan. In 2005 he was banned from sport for life after his second doping violation.[1]
Scandal
[edit]At the 2000 Summer Olympics, he caused scandals. In his second match in the elimination round, he did not wear the official Turkish wrestling singlet with the national star and crescent insignia but his own singlet despite warnings of the team leader. At his third match, he deliberately did not show, and lost the match against Russian Murad Ramazanov by forfeit.[2] For his unsportsmanlike behaviour, Harun Doğan was punished later by the Turkish Federation, and was not taken into the team participating at the 4th World University Wrestling Championships held 2000 in Tokyo, Japan.[3]
Doping cases
[edit]Harun Doğan was involved in a doping case at the 2002 World Wrestling Championships held in Tehran, Iran. He tested positive for the banned substance efedrin, and was suspended from wrestling for two years.[4]
At the 2005 Turkish National Championship Doğan tested positive for the anabolic steroid metenolone, and was subsequently banned from sport for life.[5]
