APA carries an interview with Azerbaijan bronze medal winner Elshen Mammadov (left). He says the Mongolian judo wrestler Tuvshinbayar Naidan (right) who beat him in the semifinals is likely to fail the doping test.
Baku. Elshen Mammadov - APA-SPORT. Beijing Olympic bronze medallist, judo wrestler Movlud Mireliyev interviewed by APA-SPORT
- Do you consider bronze medal as a late success in your career?
- Of course. I have spent 25 years in sports. As a sambo wrestler I achieved all success, as well as medals in world and European championships. I decided to test myself in judo in 2002. Every sportsman wishes to score Olympic medal. I was close to succeed in Athens Olympics in 2004 but I took the fifth place after the defeat by German wrestler. So, we prepared hard for the Beijing Olympics and scored gold and bronze medals which prove we had a good preparation.
- Mongolian judo wrestler Tuvshinbayar Naidan who beat you in semifinal is likely tofail the doping test. Do you feel anything during the bout?
- Yes, I did. Naidan beat all the qualified wrestlers including Olympic and world champions. I didn’t feel tired despite hard encounters. Our bout lasted 7 minutes. We couldn’t score points in the main time. Then we struggled for golden point. I felt that he had used doping. Later on, I heard that he failed both doping tests. If the IOC approves the result of the test, I will get a silver medal.- You would have probably encountered Kazakh wrestler Askhat Jitkeyev in final if Naidan hadn’t used doping. It means you could have even scored gold medal…
- I faced Jitkeyev several times and always won over him. I beat him in Athens Olympics as well. I would have defeated him if I had qualified for final. We can do nothing now. The rule says if a sportsman is deprived of medal for doping test the medal passes to the next one. We should abide by rules.- You are 34 now. Do you intend to join 2012 London Olympics?
- I have such an intention. A sportsman gets tired after a challenging competition and thinks to quit the career. After a while he regains strength and decides to join the struggle. So, I am going to do my best to qualify for London Summer Olympics.
To Movlud Mireliyev. You are a loser. You will never win a gold medal in the olympics. You might win a gold medal if there was a competition for accusing others.

To Movlud Mireliyev: A guy beats in a tournament it that does not mean he used a doping. It means he is a better Judoka than you. Do you get it?. You were not good enough to win a gold medal. You will never be!.

Today is 27th of August. So it has been almost 2 weeks since Naidan won a gold medal. If he really did doping it would have been revealed by now. So there is no silver medal for Movlud Mireliyev. Sorry mate!

Recently Kazakh' Judo Association has officially apologized to Mongolian Judo Association regarding their Judo wrestler falsely accusing Mongolian wrestler using doping. Because it has been proven that Naidan Tuvshinbayar did not do doping at all. That is the end of the story.

One careless word from this guy caused some controversy in Central Asia, which even Kazakhs quoted him and falsely accused Tuvshinbayar. It's our (Mongolian) first ever gold medal, so he should show some respect and apologize to Mongolian judo association.
As we know, judo is originated in Japan and inherited its cultural elements. Japanese judokas never try to justify their loss...
