Edward Ignatius "Ed" Coan (born July 24, 1963) is an American powerlifter. With multiple world championships and 71 world records[1][2][3] he is widely regarded throughout the powerlifting world as the greatest powerlifter of all time.[2][4][5]
In 2015, he was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame.[6]
Early career
Coan started out as a skinny kid being picked on at school, and decided to take up bodybuilding in his basement using old iso-kinetic cord machines. He eventually moved on to an Olympic weightlifting set owned by a friend, guided by the exercise instructions in Arnold Schwarzenegger's book: Education of a Bodybuilder.
He got the membership at the Chicago Health Club and after seeing Bill Kazmaier, started powerlifting with a friend and within six months, squatted Script error: No such module "convert"..[7]

Drug ban
Coan has failed drug testing through the IPF three times. He was temporarily suspended in 1985 for the use of Deca-Durabolin, an anabolic steroid.[11]
In 1989, he was suspended due to a positive drug test.[11]
In 1996, at the IPF Men's Open World Championships in Salzburg, Austria, he tested positive again and was issued a lifetime ban from the IPF.[12] Because this positive drug test occurred in a competition in which he placed first, his name and results have been retroactively removed from the 1996 results. Coan is now suspended from IPF for life.[13]
In 2016, the IPF declared that due to Coan's suspension participating in his training seminars is a violation of WADA regulations and thus prohibited.[14]
