In addition, Rakhimov took part in the Universiade 2013 , where he led the Azerbaijani team as the flag bearer at the opening ceremony and reached sixth place in the class up to 77 kg in the snatch. Only then did it become known that he had tested positive for oxandrolone and dehydrochloromethyltestosterone during a training control the previous month .

In 2016 he won the gold medal in the class up to 77 kg at the Summer Olympics by beating Oleg Perepetschonow's previous world record from 2001 by 4 kg when he pushed with 214 kg .
