USA's Sarah Robles, who spent a two-year doping ban working odd jobs in American department stores including Macy's, won the United States' first Olympic weightlifting medal in 16 years on Sunday Aug 14,2016
Sarah Robles claimed bronze in the women's +75kg, behind Chinese gold medallist Meng Suping, just over a year after returning to competitive action following her suspension for taking anabolic steroids.
Sarah Robles(28) lifted a combined total of 286kg to become the first American since the Sydney 2000 Games to step on the weightlifting podium as North Korea's Kim Kuk-Hyang took silver.
Sarah Robles faced opposition from other American weightlifters who have opposed her inclusion in US weightlifting teams since she returned from her ban in August 2015.
