The results in this event were significantly affected by the doping controls after the event ended.
Valentin Khristov (BUL), 1975 World Champion, lifted 400.0 kg and seemed to have won the gold medal, but he was disqualified for detection of an anabolic steroid, although a pre-Olympic test had been negative.
This gave the gold medal to Yury Zaytsev (URS), who had been silver medalist at the 1976 European Championships, and bronze medalist at the 1974 Worlds.
Mark Cameron (USA) originally finished fifth, but he was also disqualified for anabolic steroids.
