Olympic medals from Adam Nelson

The Urainer Yurij Bilonog had reached the same distance as the American Adam Nelson with 21.16. However, since he had the better second attempt at 21.15, he was awarded the gold medal. A follow-up in December 2012 found that he had doped oxandrolone with the anabolic steroid. In 2013, he had to hand over the gold medal, the subsequent athletes moved up one place.
