Originally, Nurbakyt Tengizbayev was awarded the bronze medal. However, on 17 November 2016, the IOC disqualified Vitaliy Rahimov from the 2008 Olympic Games, stripped his Olympic silver medal, and struck his results from the record for failing a drugs test in a re-analysis of his doping sample from 2008. As a result, Nurbakyt Tengizbayev was awarded the silver medal.[1]
