- Men's Greco-Roman 84 kg Ara Abrahamian of Schweden originally won one of the two bronze medals, but was disqualified by the IOC after he walked off the podium and dropped his medal in the center of the mat to protest a judges decision which cost him his match against the eventual gold medallist, Andrea Minguzzi from Italien.[4] The Court of Arbitration for Sport held a hearing based on the request, which was issued by Abrahamian and the Swedish Olympic Committee against the FILA. Preceding the hearing, CAS declared in a statement that Abrahamian and the SOC "do not seek from the CAS any particular relief" regarding the ranking of the medals or a review of the IOC decision to exclude Abrahamian from the Games. Following the CAS, issued an arbitration strongly criticizing FILA. While not challenging the outcome of the match or the technical judgments, the arbitration stated that the FILA was required to provide an appeal jury capable to deal promptly with the claims of the athletes. The chairman of the SOC, Stefan Lindeberg, commented that the decision once and for all shows that FILA did not act correctly and that they did not follow their own rules of fair play.[5]
- Men's Greco-Roman 96 kg Asset Mambetov of Kazakhstan originally won one of the two bronze medals, but was disqualified in 2016 after failing an anti-doping retest. United World Wrestling has reallocated medals accordingly.[2][3]
