Qasim Hasan Abdulhussein Al-Lami, an Iraqi weightlifter, has been banned for seven years by the International Testing Agency (ITA) for his second Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV). The violation occurred on October 30, 2024, when a sample revealed the presence of stanozolol metabolites. Stanozolol is a prohibited anabolic steroid. This is Al-Lami's second doping offense; he previously received a four-year ban from 2017 to 2021 for furosemide and testosterone. The ITA proposed a sanction up to eight years, but Al-Lami accepted the consequences, leading to a reduced seven-year ban from December 9, 2024, to December 8, 2031, due to an early admission. All results from October 30, 2024, to December 9, 2024, have been disqualified.

The International Testing Agency (ITA) provided on-site anti-doping education during the IFBB World Fitness Championships held in Santa Susanna, Spain, from November 12-15. Over 1,000 athletes from more than 60 countries participated. This initiative is part of the ITA's collaboration with the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB), which delegated its anti-doping program to the ITA earlier this year. The ITA set up an education booth offering guidance on anti-doping rules, athletes' rights, the Prohibited List, and medication checks. An ITA educator also presented at the Team Managers & Judges Meeting to share essential compliance knowledge and address athlete queries. IFBB President Rafael Santonja emphasized the partnership's importance for clean sport and transparency.
