At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Iranian judoka Arash Miresmaeili was disqualified for weighing in at nearly four pounds above the limit for his weight class of his under-66 kilograms match against an Israeli opponent Ehud Vaks in the first round.

Iran does not recognise the state of Israel, and Miresmaeili's actions won praise from high-ranking Iranian officials.
