Babak Ghorbani (Persian: بابک قربانی, 19 March 1989 – 16 November 2014) was an Iranian wrestler.[1]

He won gold medal at 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou.

In 2011, Ghorbani was banned from participation in FILA events for two years due to use of anabolic steroids.[2] As a result, he was unable to compete in the 2012 Olympics.

In 2012, he was in a fight during a hunting trip in a mountainous area of Kermanshah, and was charged with murder. He committed suicide in Dizelabad prison on November 16, 2014.[3][4]
