The reason for the non-participation of Hidayat Heydarov, the Olympic, world, and 4-time European champion of Azerbaijan, in the Grand Slam held in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, has been determined.
Idman.Biz reports that the Judo Federation has released information about this.
It was reported that the 29-year-old athlete could not reduce his weight to 73 kg before the competition, which he had to perform in.
As a result, he could not pass the weighing ceremony and had to miss the competition.
In accordance with the internal disciplinary rules of the Federation, appropriate measures have been taken regarding Heydarov.
It should be noted that Hidayat Heydarov was supposed to have his first match in the 73 kg weight category against Arun Kumar from India.
