• After Ljudmyla Blonska won the silver medal in the heptathlon and also qualified for the final in the long jump, it was announced on August 22, 2008 that she had tested positive for an anabolic steroid. She was then disqualified, her results annulled and her silver medal was stripped of her.
• In August 2016, the IOC announced that weightlifter Olha Korobka had been convicted of doping. At the 2008 Olympics, she had won the silver medal in the over 75 kg class. Because of the positive doping test, this medal was withdrawn from her.

Among them is the pole vaulter Denys Yurchenko , who won the bronze medal at the games. He was tested positive for dehydrochloromethyltestosterone, then subsequently disqualified and the bronze medal was revoked.
• On March 1, 2017, the IOC announced that Viktoria Tereshchuk had failed the post-doping test. The anabolic drug dehydrochloromethyltestosterone was detected in her blood . She was then disqualified and the bronze medal that she won in the modern pentathlon was stripped of her.
