Some consolation: Wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt's London Olympics bronze to turn into silver

Wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt may have returned empty handed from Rio Olympics, but his  2012 London Olympics' bronze medal is all set to be upgraded to silver as the late Besik Kudukhov (60kg) of Russia will lose his silver medal for testing positive for doping, reported Flo Wrestling.

Another legendary wrestler, Artur Taymazov (120kg) of Uzbekistan will reportedly have his 2008 gold medal stripped for taking performance enhancing drugs.

Kudukhov lost to Toghrul Asgarov of Azerbaijan in the gold medal match of London Olympics. He remains a four-time world champ and bronze medalist from 2008 Beijing Olympics. Kudukhov died at the age of 27 in fatal car crash in Russia.

The new heavyweight gold medalist from the Beijing Games will be Russian Bakhtiyar Akhmedov. Moving up from bronze to silver will be David Musul'bes while Disney Rodriguez of Cuba will move up from fifth to bronze now.

In 60kg category Yogeshwar will move up to silver while his bronze medal opponent Ri Jong-myong of North Korea will get bronze.
