The original second-placed Alexandr Ivanov from Russia had to surrender his silver medal again after deviations in his blood had been detected according to the Russian Athletics Association. All of his results between July 2012 and August 2015 have been canceled, including his 2013 World Cup title . It was also banned for three years retrospectively from May 2, 2017.
