Saeid Mohammadpour awarded Gold for 2012 olympics (after finishing 5th)
this Moldovan guy was the last one above Mohammadpour who wasn't already tested positive and with him being positive, Mohammadpour is next in line to win the gold. but if you read the article this is far from being done.
I saw it on CNN Sports News, and they said Iran's Mohammadpour was given the GOLD medal at 94 kgs at London 2012.
fyi...
This article basically says IOC has announced the results. Whether or not the medals have officially been reallocated is not clear. http://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/37371735
I don't think this article says they already given the medals, hey are expected to win the medals. even though this Polish most probably won't give anything and the bronze medal will remain blank.
even disqualification from IOC is just the 1st step, still it wll be up to IWF to re-award the medals or not.
I'm fully aware of this process , fyi I was the first person who contacted Mohammadpour himself and told him about the story. if you want to think this is a done deal, fine for me, but this is wrong.
as you can read here, only one case is completely finished. for the rest , still ongoing .
London 2012
M85
AUKHADOV, Apti (RUS) ongoing IOC
TSIREKIDZE, Rauli (GEO) ongoing IOC
M94
CIRICU, Anatoli (MDA) ongoing IOC
ILYIN, Ilya (KAZ) ongoing IOC
ZAIROV, Intigam (AZE) ongoing IOC
UTESHOV, Almas (KAZ) ongoing IOC IVANOV, Alexandr (RUS) ongoing IOC
DEMANOV, Andrey (RUS) ongoing IOC
these guys in red are important for Iranian weightlifters, that Aukhadov guy finished 2nd above Kianoush Rostami and his disqualification will result in a silver medal for him (instead of bronze) and those 4 guys at 94kg, they all finished above Mohammadpour, if they disqualify all of them (which is likely to happen) Mohammadpour will be the Olympic Champion.
IOC officially banned Apti Aukhadov, which means Kianoush Rostami is one big step closer to his rightful silver medal, still this needs confirmation from International Weightlifting Federation.
Finally IOC officially banned 3 of 4 weightlifters above Mohammadpour, they banned Ivanov (2nd place), Ciricu (3rd place) and Demanov (4th place), still nothing about the gold medalist Ilya Ilyin !! I just hope he can't get away with this because of being a role-model in this sport. https://www.olympic.org/news/ioc-san...at-london-2012
still this was just the 1st step (even though the most important one) now it's up to IWF to adjust the ranking. will take few more months.
