Răzvan Constantin Martin (in Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan pronounced as /rəzˈvan marˈtin/; born 22 December 1991) is a Romanian weightlifter. He competed at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and won a bronze medal in 2012.[3]
On 25 November 2020, the reanalysed doping tests from the 2012 Summer Olympics turned out positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone, metenolone and stanozolol, and he was stripped of his medal.[4]
In the 2012 European Championships, he originally won a silver in the −77 kg division, but was later awarded the gold medal because Erkand Qerimaj was banned for doping use. In 2013 Martin himself was suspended for doping violations.[5]
