He currently holds the world record with a total of 417 kg in the 94 kg weight class. He formerly held world records in the snatch and clean and jerk categories.

In 2013, he was banned from the sport for two years for doping, after testing positive for methadone. Any opioid, in general, causes suppression of testosterone and therefore, it is likely that individuals entering methadone treatment already have reduced testosterone levels.
