The Men's 56 kilograms weightlifting event at the 2012 Summer Olympics was held in ExCeL London on 29 July.[1]
Total score was the sum of the lifter's best result in each of the snatch and the clean and jerk, with three lifts allowed for each lift. In case of a tie, the lighter lifter won; if still tied, the lifter who took the fewest attempts to achieve the total score won. Lifters without a valid snatch score did not perform the clean and jerk.[2]
On 22 December 2018, it was announced that Azerbaijan's Valentin Hristov, London 2012 Olympic bronze medalist, had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.[3] In March 2019, Hristov was disqualified after the re-analysis of his samples were positive for oralturinabol.[4] Medals were reallocated.[5]
