Murad Gaidarov (Belarusian: Мурад Гайдараў, Russian: Мурад Гайдаров; born February 13, 1980), is a Belarusian wrestler of Dagestani descent. Gaidarov was disqualified from 2004 Summer Olympics for retaliating after he was defeated at the quarterfinals and assaulted his opponent, Buvaisar Saitiev, off the arena floor. Gaidarov won the bronze medal in men's 74 kg freestyle wrestling at the 2008 Summer Olympics,[1] but after a failed drug test by Soslan Tigiev, he was awarded the silver medal. His elder brother Gaidar Gaidarov is second coach of Dagestan wrestling team and the Italian national team.
He began coaching Indian wrestler Deepak Punia in 2018. He was dismissed from his position by the Wrestling Federation of India in 2021 after assaulting a referee at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. He was expelled from the Games by the IOC.[2]
