He competed at the 2013 World Championships in the Men's +105 kg, winning the bronze medal and the European Championships 2014, winning the gold medal in the Snatch, Clean and Jerk and total.[3]
In the 2015 World Championships he competed in the +105kg category, winning gold medals in the Snatch, Clean and Jerk, and Total, with a 211 kg Snatch and 264 kg world record Clean and Jerk for a world record 475 kg total. However, Lovchev failed a doping test[4] and was stripped of the World Championship gold medal and world records.
In May 2016, Lovchev was banned for four years after failing A and B-samples: he tested positive for ipamorelin, a hormone growth drug. He contested this decision at Court of Arbitration for Sport,[5][6][7] but his appeal was dismissed.[8]
