A pair of doping cases led to the first Olympic gold-medal tie in wrestling history, eight years after the matches took place.
Russian Bilyal Makhov was upgraded to 2012 Olympic freestyle super heavyweight gold, joining Iranian Komeil Ghasemi, who was upgraded last year, according to the IOC’s website.
In February, Russian media reported that Makhov tested positive for growth hormone, which would have no bearing on 2012 results.
The move came after the finalists in 2012 — Uzbek Artur Taymazov and Georgian Davit Modzmanashvil — were stripped of their gold and silver medals last year in retests of doping samples from the London Games.
