Both placed last at said Europeans where they tested positive.
Again, positives that weren't (to me) "predicted" but were in a sense predictable - not entirely surprising.

They are former CrossFitters, because of course they are. Basically every ostarine positive is a CrossFitter turned weightlifter.
Daniel Godelli doesn't count as a weightlifter any more because he doesn't do totals.

Weightlifter Ali Hashemi's reaction to his doping news: The test was optional, I knew I was clean that I tested / I have a lot of experience, I will come back and say goodbye to the stage proudly.

Illami weightlifting champion Ali Hashemi talks about his doping test being positive and his three-year ban from being in the field: When they took the doping test, it was optional and I could not take the test, but because I was sure I was clean, I tested it. Anyone who tests positive for doping denies they didn't use anything but I really don't know how that stuff got into my body.

He answered the question that he doesn't know how he got infected and may have used the contaminated supplement? He explained: I do not accuse anyone and I do not doubt anyone. I really do not know what happened. I was not a beginner weightlifter to show myself.

I'm full of experience and I never use this stuff. This substance in my test can stay in the body for maybe two years and is an old medicine and no one uses it at all.

Hashemi in response to being away from the field for three years and intends to say goodbye? He emphasized: you will see me on stage in three years. I want to say goodbye to weightlifting on the competition stage and I don’t want weightlifting to leave me. If I won a medal in Tokyo Olympics, I would say goodbye on the spot, but I didn't get lucky and for the last few years I would have stayed on the stage to say goodbye and everyone knew about it.

Ali Hashemi tests positive, accepts 3 year ban

Ali Hashemi's reaction to positive test

IRIWF says they didn't give him anything.

Nawab Nasirshalal (head coach) says Hashemi is innocent, contaminated supplement etcetc

The positive is for nandrolone/norandrosterone/19-nortestosterone (reported by Mehr News Agency), test taken April 15 prior to Asian Champs.

A bit of an unusual positive; Hashemi has said that it's not a drug people use any more as the detection time is 1-2 years.
Nandrolone has essentially zero oral bioavailability, so I think the contaminated supplement trope could be true, if the supplement being used was injectable anabolic steroids that were supposed to not be nandrolone. Potentially a political positive as well.

He has successfully scammed the Albanian government for the last 10 years, I'll give him that.

Taking Turinabol and Ostarine is an odd combination. Both drugs are rumoured to be difficult to detect (untrue), which may be a reason they were used. Otherwise, it is a perplexing combination.

Summary here

I'm not sure of Mr Oliver's take on the detectability of ostarine. If someone asked me, I would have said that the broscience I had read online led me to believe that its relatively easy to detect, and it had been that way for some time.

I think he's just reporting the general gossip amongst his sources. From what I've heard, many of the people who've taken ostarine believed it to be difficult to detect. That rumour has been around for a few years, not based on facts at all.

There are other drugs that are actually more difficult to detect, but IMO the big difference overall in recent yearsis doing more OOC testing. The undetectable wonder drugs that will pass random OOC testing are yet to be seen.
