Norayr is the son of legendary Soviet weightlifter Yurik Vardanyan (1956-2018).[1]
Vardanian initially won the bronze medal in the 94 kg class at the 2009 Pan American Weightlifting Championships but was later disqualified after testing positive for cannabis.[2][3]
On 6 October 2016, the IWF reported that as a consequence of the IOC's reanalyses of samples from the 2012 Olympic Games, a sample produced by Norayr Vardanyan, who represented Armenia, had returned a positive result. In line with the relevant rules and regulations, the IWF imposed a mandatory provisional suspension upon Vardanyan, who will remain provisionally suspended until his case is closed.[5] On 12 January 2017 it was confirmed that because of a doping violation he had been disqualified from the 2012 Olympic Games.[6]
