Full Biography
|Isadore Louis Bloomberg (10 February 1930 – 1 December 2000) was a South African weightlifter. He competed at the 1948 Summer Olympics and the 1952 Summer Olympics. His Olympic career was cut short when, after the 1952 Olympics, he lost his amateur status by opening a gym when he returned to South Africa, which the Olympic authorities considered sufficient to make him a professional.
