No up-gradation for Yogeshwar as IOC terminate investigation against Besik Kudukhov

In the latest news it is learnt that Yogeshwar’s bronze medal will not turn silver as the International Olympic Committee has terminated the investigation against the wrestler Besik Kudukhov. Kudukov came under scanner this year when one his old sample found tested positive of a banned substance. From then, there was news that Yogeshwar’s bronze medal might be turn into silver but now all these rumours have been quashed by the committee.

“The International Olympic Committee will not deprive wrestler Besik Kudukhov of his silver medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London,” first deputy president of the Russian Wrestling Federation Georgy Bryusov, also a vice president of the United World Wrestling said in the statement.

However, before even this Yogeshwar had already objected this as he wanted  Kudukhov family to keep his silver medal as a mark of his memory.

Kudukov won the silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics in the 60 kg category whereas Yogeshwar won a bronze medal in the same category.

Last month, there were rumours that Yogeshwar’s medal might turn gold as according to sources last month, Asgarov of Azerbaijan was also tested positive of consuming a banned substance but later IOC cleared all the rumours by publically terming this as a false theory.
