He won the gold medal at the 2008 Asian Weightlifting Championships, with a total of 426 kg and 2009 Asian Weightlifting Championships, with a total of 440 kg,[1] but he lost this medal because he tested positive for doping, as did fellow Iranian weightlifting team members Anoush Armak and Omid Naiij Kenar.[2][3]

After retirement of the Olympic champion Hossein Rezazadeh, he succeeded him representing Iran at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Due to his poor test results he was placed at group B of the competitions and finished 6th.
