Maiya Maneza is one of the most popular and richest Weightlifter who was born on November 1, 1985 in Tokmok, Chuy Region, Kyrgyzstan. Maiya Salakharqyzy Maneza (Chinese: 姚丽 ; Kazakh: Майя Салахарқызы Манеза ; Russian: Майя Салахаровна Манеза , born 1 November 1985) is a Kazakh weightlifter. She initially won the gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the 63 kg category by lifting a combined weight of 245 kg and set a new Olympic record in the process. She was later stripped of her Olympic medal after a failed drug test.

In June 2016, the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) announced that retests of the samples taken from the 2012 London Games indicated that Maneza had tested positive for prohibited substances, namely stanazolol. The samples of three other Kazakhs also returned positive test results upon re-analysis: Zulfiya Chinshanlo, Svetlana Podobedova and Ilya Ilyin. On 27 October 2016, the IOC stripped Maneza of her 2012 Olympic gold medal.
