Career

In 2014 Orság was sanctioned for the use of Tamoxifen. After the sanction he stopped training for 6 months; during this time he began a different healthy lifestyle, losing 12 kg and earning a certificate in bodybuilding and becoming a fitness instructor.{{Cite web|url=http://wlforums.com/forums/showthread.php?609-Interview-with-Jiri-Orsag-(CZ)-after-the-ban-(23-Oct-2014)|title=Interview with Jiri Orsag (CZ) after the ban (23.Oct.2014)|website=wlforums.com|language=en|access-date=2017-03-21|archive-date=22 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170322015519/http://wlforums.com/forums/showthread.php?609-Interview-with-Jiri-Orsag-(CZ)-after-the-ban-(23-Oct-2014)|url-status=dead}} He struggled upon returning to training, telling an interviewer it was like as if he hadn't touched it in 10 years. For the first few weeks he was working on technique and the movements, but muscle memory helped speed up the process and after two months he was able to snatch 150 kg. Training by himself in 2015, he reached a 185 kg snatch, 5 kg below his best, and a 220 kg Clean and Jerk (20 kg below his best). During this period of training, Orság was motivated by the goal of competing at the 2015 WWC and the 2016 EWC, competitions required to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
