The International Olympic Committee has disqualified Belarusian hummer throwers Vadzim Dzevyatouski and Ivan Tsikhan for doping, and withdrew their silver and bronze medals, respectively.   Dzevyatouski has been banned from Olympic Games permanently, and Tsikhan has been reportedly disqualified for two years. The lifetime ban on Dzevyatouski was considered appropriate on the grounds that it is the second time the athlete was found to have violated IOC anti-doping rules.

 

The athletes tested positive for exogenous testosterone.
