Although this information is provided by the IOC, the IOC itself does not recognize or endorse any ranking system. In boxing, judo, taekwondo, and wrestling, two bronze medals are awarded in each weight class. Two silver medals ( and no bronze ) were awarded for second place ties in both the men 's 200 metre freestyle swimming and the men 's 100 metre butterfly swimming events.

Kudakhov died in a car crash in December 2013. On 27 October 2016, the IOC dropped all disciplinary proceedings against Kudukhov, stating that such proceedings can not be conducted against a deceased person. As a result, it said, Olympic results that would have been reviewed will remain uncorrected, which is the unavoidable consequence of the fact that the proceedings can not move forward. On 9 November 2015, WADA Independent report was published in which Russian athlete Ekaterina Poistogova was mentioned as the violator of anti-doping rules. After an investigation, Poistogova was one of five Russian runners whom the World Anti-Doping Agency recommended to receive a lifetime ban for doping during the London Olympics. On 7 April 2017, CAS refused to decide on disqualification from 2012, and disqualify Ekaterina Poistogova from 2015. Thus, Ekaterina Poistogova retained her Olympic 2012 medal at women 's 800 metres athletic event. Ruling date Sport / Event NOC 01 ! 02 ! 03 !
