description: "Leo Ilmo Honkala was a flyweight Greco-Roman wrestler from Finland who won a bronze medal at the 1952 Summer Olympics. In the following several years he suffered several shoulder injuries, and retired from competitions in 1956 after winning his only national title. In retirement he first worked as a policeman in Finland, but in the late 1960s immigrated to Sweden, and in 1974–85 trained the Swedish wrestling team. He also competed in powerlifting, but at the 2006 European Masters Championships failed a drug test for EPO and was banned for life."
