Lin Tzu-chi (Chinese: 林子琦; pinyin: Lín Zǐqí; formerly Lin Wan-hsuan; born 19 March 1988) is a Taiwanese weightlifter.[1] She was to appear at the 2010 Asian Games, but was suspended from competition due to a positive drug test. Lin was banned until 2012.[2] At the 2014 Asian Games, she set a world record in women's 63 kg, with a lift of 261 kg.[3] She also set the clean and jerk record for her weight class, at 145 kg.[4] The government of Taiwan awarded her NT$3 million for this accomplishment.[5] Lin was suspended from the 2016 Summer Olympics due to another positive drug test result.[2] The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in November 2018, after an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency, that Lin was to serve an eight-year suspension, and additionally vacated all weightlifting medals, prizes and points earned by Lin after 24 June 2016.[6]

She attends Kaohsiung Medical University.[7]
