“After 10 years, justice was restored, our athlete was awarded the Olympic medal,” said Stanislav Pozdnyakov, President of the Russian Olympic Committee.
Akhmedov initially received the silver of the competition, but then the Sports Arbitration Court (CAS) canceled the gold medal of the Uzbek athlete Artur Taymazov due to anti-doping rule violation.
Previously, wrestler Akhmedov was declared the winner of the 2008 Olympics after the disqualification of his opponent.
