Medal record

Frank Mantek (born 20 January 1959) is a German weightlifting coach and a retired weightlifter. He won a bronze medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics in the middle-heavyweight (under 90 kg) category, which also qualified as a bronze medal at world championships. In 1982 he won another combined bronze medal in the world/European championships.[1][2]
He retired in 1983 and later admitted taking the performance-enhancing drug Oral Turinabol as part of the East German training system.[3] According to the doping expert Werner Franke, with an annual dose of 7600 mg Mantek was the second most doped East German athlete.[4] Since 1990 he is a head coach of the German Weightlifting Federation, raising such athletes as Matthias Steiner. He suffered a heart attack in 1995, which he attributed to his past doping practice.[3]
