Peter Petzold

Middle-heavyweight lifter Peter Petzold won three consecutive bronze medals at the World Championships in 1973-75. He also finished third at the 1975 and 1976 European Championships. At the 1976 Montréal Olympics Petzold placed fifth. From 1974-77 and in 1979, he won the East German national title.

After German re-unification, former East German officials admitted to administering doping to nearly all Olympic athletes, including weightlifter Petzold, who later worked as a youth coach.
