Zbigniew Tadeusz Kaczmarek (born 31 July 1946 in Tarnowskie Góry) is a Polish former weightlifter who competed in the 1972 Summer Olympics, in the 1976 Summer Olympics, and in the 1980 Summer Olympics.[1]
At the 1976 Summer Olympics, the first Olympics to test for anabolic steroids, he won the gold medal but tested positive for anabolic steroids and therefore disqualified for doping and was stripped of his gold medal and suspended.[2][3]
