Israel José Rubio Rivero (born 11 January 1981) is a Venezuelan weightlifter.
Rubio originally placed 4th in the men's 62kg weightlifting competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, but was moved to third place and received a bronze medal when the previous bronze medalist, Leonidas Sampanis, was stripped of his medal following a doping scandal.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics he ranked 13th in the men's 69kg weightlifting competition, lifting a total of 306 kg.[1]
Rubio was arrested on January 25, 2012, in the city of Pescara, Italy, for alleged possession of narcotics.[2]
