doping

There was a doping case here.

The US American Mike Stulce , who initially came third , had already been banned from doping for two years before winning his silver medal at the 1992 Olympic Games . Now he was tested positive again and had to give up his bronze medal.

Mainly three athletes were disadvantaged:

• Oleksandr Bahatsch from Ukraine , who only received his bronze medal as a successor and was unable to attend the award ceremony. However, he had already been caught as a doping sinner and was tested positive again five years later at the 1998 , whereupon he had to surrender the gold medal he had won there.
• The German Jonny Reinhardt would have allowed three more attempts in the final of the best eight in eighth place, which he took in the final result.
• The Ukrainian Oleksandr Klymenko could have taken part in the final with his qualifying distance , which brought him twelfth place after Bahatsch's disqualification.
