Yogeshwar Dutt's 2012 Games medal may turn to gold

September 02, 2016 19:09

Wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt will likely get the gold medal after the winner in his 60 kg event at the 2012 London Olympics tested positive in a doping examination.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, a source said that the World Anti-Doping Agency is yet to officially announce that the 2012 Games' gold medallist Toghrul Asgarov was tested positive for doping.

Earlier, Dutt's bronze medal was upgraded after Besik Kudukhov, who died in a car crash in 2013, was stripped of his silver medal after his sample also tested positive for a banned substance.
