Mitko Todorov Grablev (Bulgarian: Митко Тодоров Гръблев) is a Bulgarian weightlifter who competed for Bulgaria.
He is world and twice European champion and world record holder. He originally claimed the gold medal in Weightlifting at the 1988 Summer Olympics – Men's 56 kg but was disqualified after he tested positive for furosemide. It became a scandal after another Bulgarian weightlifter Angel Guenchev, who also originally claimed a gold medal in weightlifting, was disqualified for failing drug testing and a positive result for the doping agent furosemide. The Bulgarian weightlifting team was forced to withdraw midway from the weightlifting competition.[2][3][4][5]
