Career
He originally started out as an 800 metres runner. He placed sixth in that event at the 2010 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships, held in Tehran, and anchored the 4×400 metres relay team to the gold medal (his first international podium finish). He was banned from competition for two years from June 2011 to 2013 after a positive doping test for the banned steroid methandienone.
He returned to action in 2013 as a sprint specialist and immediately after the expiry of his doping ban he helped break the Iranian record of 39.69 seconds for the 4×100 metres relay, running alongside Reza Ghasemi, Ali Reza Habibi, and Hassan Taftian.
