Well, which one do you believe? international weightlifting federation or other sources?

Because they didn't have strict doping controls back then, Taranenko's record isn't counted anymore. Only records that are still valid are the ones that were set after the new rules of doping control were taking into practice. Hence Rezazadeh has both the world and the Olympic record. He lost his snatch world record to the very same Salimi though.

NOOO

The current World Record is lower than the highest ever because since they restructured the weight classes, all the World Records were reset in 93 and once again in 98.

Salimi broke the world record, but it's unofficial. only IWF sanctioned competitions are counted. Iranian national championships isn't an IWF sanctioned competition.
