List of stripped Olympic medals

From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Jump to: navigation, search

The following is a list of stripped Olympic medals. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is the governing body of the Olympic Games, and as such, can rule athletes to have violated regulations of the Games, for which athletes' Olympic medals can be stripped (i.e. rescinded). Stripped medals must be returned to the IOC by the offending athlete.

Record

In the case of team events, the IOC can strip medals from a team based on infractions by a single team member. In the table below, for stripped team medals, the athlete in violation is shown in parentheses. The international governing body of each Olympic sport can also strip athletes of medals for infractions of the rules of the sport.

From October 1968 to January 2018, a total of 139 medals have been stripped, with 9 medals declared vacant (rather than being reallocated) after being stripped, with the vast majority of these occurring since 2000 due to improved drug testing methods.

The majority of medals have been stripped in athletics (48, including 18 gold medals) and weightlifting (46, including 13 gold medals). The country with the most stripped medals is Russia, with 43, nearly four times the number of the next highest, and more than 30% of the total.

Among particular Olympic Games, the 2008 Summer Olympics has the most stripped medals, at 50. Among Winter Olympics, the 2002 Winter Olympics has the most medals stripped with 13.

All but five of the stripped medals involve infractions stemming from doping and drug testing:Jim Thorpe was stripped of his gold medals by the International Olympic Committee in 1913, after the IOC learned that Thorpe had taken expense money for playing baseball, violating Olympic amateurism rules, before the 1912 Games, moving everyone else up in the rankings. In 1982, the IOC was convinced that the disqualification had been improper, as no protest against Thorpe's eligibility had been brought within the required 30 days, and reinstated Thorpe's medals, with replicas presented to his children in 1982, 29 years after his death.

Ibragim Samadov of the 1992 Unified Team was stripped of his bronze medal after he "hurled his bronze medal to the floor" and "stormed off the stage during the awards ceremony."[1] Ara Abrahamian was stripped of his bronze medal in 2008 for similar reasons.[2] China was stripped of a team gymnastics bronze medal from 2000 in 2010 after a team member was found to have been underage at the time of the competition.

In a few cases, the IOC has reversed earlier rulings that stripped athletes of medals. In the case of Rick DeMont, the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) recognized his gold medal performance in the 1972 Summer Olympics in 2001,[3] but only the IOC has the power to restore his medal, and it has, as of 2018, refused to do so.[3]

Stripped, returned, and stripped

Six gold medals for the 2000 Olympic men's 4 × 400 metres relay were awarded to the U.S. squad of Jerome Young, Michael Johnson, Antonio Pettigrew, Angelo Taylor, Alvin Harrison and Calvin Harrison. In 2004, after Young was retroactively banned from 1999 to 2001, all six were stripped of their medals.

In 2005, the Court of Arbitration for Sport restored the medals of the remaining five, but in 2008, Pettigrew admitted to the use of HGH and EPO from 1997 to 2003, meaning that the team were disqualified, but it was not until 2012 that the medals were stripped from the remaining four.[99]

Medals stripped by country

A total of 34 different countries have had medals stripped including the former Soviet Union and the Unified Team of 1992.
