François Etoundi (born 6 October 1984 in Yaoundé) is a Cameroonian born Australian male weightlifter, competing in the 77 kg category and representing Australia at international competitions.[1] He competed at world championships, most recently at the 2009 World Weightlifting Championships.[2]
He competed in the men's 77 kg event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games where he won a bronze medal.[3] The following day, he was arrested for breaking the nose of fellow Welsh competitor Gareth Evans and ordered to pay £400 after appearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court. He was later stripped of his Commonwealth Games accreditation and sent home in disgrace.[4][5]
On the 14th of April 2021, he was banned from competing for a three-year period by Sport Integrity Australia for failing to submit to sample collection. [6]
