Olympics News

At London Olympics 2012, Great Britain

Four years after London 2012 Olympics, Yogeshwar Dutt’s bronze for India to turn silver after Russia's Besik Kudukhov's sample tested positive ... Once the upgrade is officially announced, Yogeshwar will join wrestler Sushil Kumar and shooter Vijay Kumar as silver-medallists for India from the London Games.

Kudukhov died in a car accident at the age of 27 in Russia in 2013. However, ahead of the Rio Games this month, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) re-tested the four-time world champion’s sample, which was collected during the London Games. The re-test was part of standard practice, with samples now stored for up to 10 years to allow the use of advanced testing methods to weed out dope cheats.
