As the IOC announced in August 2016, the Kazakh Ilya Ilyin , who had sneaked the gold medal at the 2008 Games with the help of doping agents, also competed with doping in 2012 and thus also came first. He was disqualified and stripped of the 2008 and 2012 gold medals. The second-placed Russian Alexander Ivanov was also doped, as was the third-placed Moldovan Anatolii Cîrîcu , who was convicted of a follow-up test in September 2016 and is now a three-time repeat offender after 2007 and 2015.
It has also been known since September 2016 that fourth-placed Russian Andrei Demanow , sixth-placed Azerbaijani İntiqam Zairov and seventh-placed Kazakh Almas Öteschow had been doped. In October 2016, there was another case of doping abuse by the eleventh-placed Armenian Norayr Wardanjan . This means that the fifth-placed Iranian Saeid Mohammadpour , the eighth-placed Korean Kim Min-jae and the ninth-placed Pole Tomasz Zieliński advanced to the medal ranks.
The Ukrainian Artem Ivanov , who had already lifted 420 kilograms at the Ukrainian championships in 2012, eight kilograms above the world record at that time, did not take part in the compulsory weighing of the athletes without giving a reason and was therefore disqualified.
