Pisarenko held multiple world records in the snatch and clean and jerk, and was named weightlifting's "most iconic athlete" by Weightlifting House in 2023.[1] After Pisarenko was caught with Aleksandr Kurlovich in possession of steroids by the Canadian customs in 1985, he was given a lifetime ban by the Soviet Weightlifting Federation.[2]
