Recent stripped medals

A guy from Bahrain and a guy from Italy recently lost medals, months later. I'll update this list when I find sources. Czolgolz (talk) 04:16, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Athletes stripped of medals because of another team member

Why is only the athlete in violation shown in the table for team medals? The team members who abided by the rules have also been stripped of their medals. So should they not be included in some way in the table or in another table? How else can one find out who has been stripped of a medal in this way? Coyets (talk) 08:21, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons

Might be nice if the table included the reason why each medal was stripped. Tad Lincoln (talk) 05:55, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I second the idea. --Jamez42 (talk) 21:06, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-checking with another wikipedia List

I compared with this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_at_the_Olympic_Games and found only a couple of errors:

1976 winter olympics: is missing Galina Kulakova, Soviert Union, Bronze, Cross-Country Skiing, Women's 5 km
1988: Andor Szanyi (Hungary): silver medal

I checked the sources, not only the other wikipedia list (it contains errors, too). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.77.157.241 (talk) 11:11, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Separate Soviet Union from Russia

The first pacce of the Soviet Union in the table of stripped medals is NOT the matter of fact. All the problems with sport, doping, etc in Russia are modern problems that arised after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Every reader would think that this is just a legasy of the soviet system while, for example, Sochi 2014 was the disaster made by the will of Putin to show everyine that Russia is still the sports superpower (and it is not). More or less the same stuation is in all the other former Soviet republics (Ukraine, Belorussia, etc.) Again, it is not the legasy of the Soviet Union as the Soviet Union never had this issue. 95.25.138.232 (talk) 16:57, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

rvt your edits appear to be non-neutral (agenda pushing) read Doping in Russia#Background: Soviet era your text is poorly worded are you aware that doping tests in the 70s and 80s weren't as efficient as they are now? read about dissapearibg positive test methodology — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.69.239.33 (talk) 10:57, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tables ARE WRONG

According to this CAS decision several medals were given back, so all tables are completely WRONG http://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Media_Release__decision_RUS_IOC_.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.66.220.92 (talk) 10:15, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How are stripped medals tallied - how are these charts supposed to be read - is one of the charts grossly wrong?

The section titled "Medals stripped by country" claims that Russia (including Olympic Athletes from Russia) has had 43 medals stripped from it. However, counting the individual medals allegedly stripped from Russia in the section titled "List of stripped Olympic medals", I count 87 medals (including Olympic Athletes from Russia) since 2002.

That's a big discrepancy.

Orphaned references in List of stripped Olympic medals

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of stripped Olympic medals's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Hunt2007":

From Doping in China: Thomas Mitchell Hunt (2007). Drug Games: The International Politics of Doping and the Olympic Movement, 1960—2007. ProQuest. pp. 148–. ISBN 978-0-549-16219-3. Retrieved 31 July 2012.
From Doping at the Olympic Games: Thomas Mitchell Hunt (2007). Drug Games: The International Politics of Doping and the Olympic Movement, 1960--2007. ProQuest. pp. 95–. ISBN 978-0-549-16219-3. Retrieved 20 July 2012.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:16, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tommie Smith? John Carlos?

I'm very surprised this article doesn't mention Tommie Smith and John Carlos (Mexico 1968).

I'm searching for others athletes which medals had been stripped for political reasons. Do you know where i can find that on wikipedia?

--Dorothee111 (talk) 13:33, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think any medals were ever stripped for political reasons.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:45, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Of course yes! Look who are Tommie Smith and John Carlos and what happened to them in Mexico 1968. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommie_Smith --Dorothee111 (talk) 09:38, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I know what happened in Mexico 1968, but I do not see any evidence IOC stripped them of the medals. Actually, the Australian guy was in trouble as well, but he was not stripped the medal either.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:29, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Eeeeh! Indeed, they "only" have been banned from the Olympic Village and the olympics games forever (and so from the US team). It seems that Tommie Smith tried to (did??) sell his medal in 2010!

The idea that their medals has been stripped seems to be very common, maybe it would be interesting to put a little comma on the page for those, like me, who think they have been. Or maybe that talk is enough?

Anyway, thank you for your contributions --Dorothee111 (talk) 11:56, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Medals stripped by gender

The article says, "Men have had more medals stripped overall. ... However, based on percentages men and women have had medals stripped at similar rates."

But this doesn't take into account the fact that historically, there were a lot more men's events than women's events in the Olympics, and thus a lot more men winning medals than women. The gender balance has been fairly close to even in recent Olympics, but it didn't use to be. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:36, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Valieva

The CAS ruling includes the following verbiage (emphasis mine): "• All competitive results of Ms Valieva from 25 December 2021 are disqualified, with all the resulting consequences (including forfeiture of any titles, awards, medals, profits, prizes, and appearance money)." This seems unambiguous that her team event medal is stripped and since CAS has binding authority over the IOC, this means she should be added. However, given how contentious this has been elsewhere, I want to get consensus for it first. Jasper Deng (talk) 02:10, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After seeing no objections here I have decided to add them on the basis that CAS was the acting body for some of the medal strippings here, and is explicitly doing so for Valieva. If you disagree, feel free to revert as long as you also discuss here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
