69.89Olympic record. In the Olympic discus final Robert Fazekas succeeded in his second attempt a distance of 70.93 meters, which would have been new Olympic record. None of his opponents approached this further. For the delivery of a urine sample Fazekas had drunk several liters of liquid, but he managed to give it in the doping control no urine. He was then caught trying to pass a urine sample of a stranger from a plastic bag attached to his genitals. He was disqualified from the IOC gold medal, the subsequent athletes moved to. In addition, a two-year ban was imposed on Fazekas.
