Oleksandr PYATAYTSYA - Ukraine - No silver medal at 2012 Olympics.

Oleksandr Pyatnytsya initially won the silver medal in the javelin throw
at the 2012 London Olympics.

In 2016 a reanalysis of samples from the 2012 Olympics resulted in a positive test
for the anabolic steroid turinabol. He was stripped of his title by the IOC and
ordered to return his silver medal, medalist pin and diploma.

In May 2017, he was disqualified for two years.
