Iran’s weightlifter Mustafa Rajahie Langrudi posed for a photo with an athlete from Israel. For the Iranian Sports Association, this was apparently such a serious offense that the athlete has now been banned for life.
Iran has banned a well-known athlete for life after a photo with an Israeli. The weightlifter Mustafa Radschaie Langrudi is no longer allowed to compete for Iran because of a photo on the winner’s podium with an Israeli in a competition in Poland, the Hamschahri newspaper reported on Wednesday. The Islamic Republic of Iran regards Israel as its arch-enemy.
According to the report, the professional athlete won two silver medals at the sporting event in the Polish city of Wieliczka. A photo on social media showed Langrudi with an Iranian flag around his neck next to a coach and an Israeli athlete. Encounters between hostile countries at sporting events repeatedly made headlines.
