Stian Grimseth

Stian Grimseth (born 24 July 1972) is a Norwegian former weightlifter from Naustdal Municipality. He won the gold medal in snatch at the European Championships in 1996 and 1997, and the bronze medal in total at the latter. Grimseth won twelve consecutive gold medals at the Norwegian Championship from 1993 to 2004, and two additional national gold medals in 2007 and 2008. He is a two-time Olympian and competed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in the +108 kg event and the 2004 Athens Olympics in the +105 kg event.

In September 2000, Grimseth tested positive for the banned substance nandrolone and missed the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He later served a six-month national and 15 month international suspension. Analyses showed that the substance came from the supplement Ribose and Grimseth filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer Universal Nutrition in 2002 that was settled four years later.
