That, Sir, is a good question when it comes to boxing

I'd say silver for the Chinese guy for starters and bronze for Ceiber Ávila? He lost to Aloyan and since all Aloyan's results will apparently be scrapped, he "is in" the semi and so should get bronze.

Same thing for Romanian wrestler Gabriel Sincraian who has lost his medal from Rio now (and who was found positive a while ago).

Absolutely, 3 people got knocked out of the tournament by him and so were robbed of a chance. But how would you propose the medals to be redistributed? I mean, we can't let some fights be fought again (like Avila vs the Chinese guy as semi)..

 

At least it's easier than in sports with the weird repechage systems like the other combat sports.

First reaction on the Dutch forums: "This makes it even more impressive that the Dutch speed skaters beat all those dirty Russians and won so many medals"  (in a sarcastic way of course)
