| DQ | Narsingh Yadav (IND) |
* Narsingh Yadav failed both A and B sample doping tests on 25 June and 5 July, but was reinstated on 3 August when the National Anti-Doping Agency of India gave him a clean record on grounds that he had been a victim of sabotage. However, the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed against this decision to drop the doping charges: Yadav was suspended for four years and ejected from the competition by the Court of Arbitration on 18 August.
