He finished first in the 2004 Summer Olympics,[1] but was later disqualified for failing to provide a drug sample, and the gold medal was awarded to Virgilijus Alekna.

[3][4] After two years ban from international competitions, Fazekas made a relatively good comeback by finishing in eighth position in the discus at the Beijing Olympics.

Exiguous amount of stanozolol was found in his system by neglect, therefore his first degree sentence was overruled and reduced to a 6-year suspension from competition.

In the committee's explanation of their verdict: Róbert Fazekas has proved dependably that his system was exposed by stanozolol by taking a nutritional supplement that is legally available in retail stores.

Since the WADA's regulation regarding negligence had been moderated Fazekas made an appeal earlier again for decreasing his suspension, the leader of the Hungarian Anti-Doping Group stated in may be only applied until after the legal procedure, thus Fazekas made its appeal again to reduce the earlier suspension to 4 years, so he could be able to compete from 6 July 2016.
