Kirilova tested positive for a steroid in 2008 during an out-of-competition test, along with ten other weightlifters, and therefore Bulgaria's weightlifting federation withdrew its team from the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Apart from Cholakov the athletes who tested positive were Ivailo Filev, Alan Tsagaev, Velichko Cholakov, Ivan Stoitsov, Ivan Markov, Georgi Markov, Demir Demirev, Milka Maneva, Donka Mincheva and Mehmed Fikretov.{{cite news| url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2008-06-27-bulgaria-weightlifters_N.htm | work=USA Today | title=Bulgaria pulls Olympic weightlifters for doping | date=June 28, 2008 | accessdate=May 27, 2010}}
