I still can't believe how come they let Kazakhstan participate in Rio in this sport ! almost their whole squad from 2008 and 2012 failed the test and they also had a big number of positive tests from 2015 Worlds ! beside that almost their whole 2016 squad had a history of doping suspension ! you can't find a country with a doping record worse than this in any sport ! Kazakhstan is indeed "number one" but in doping.

I'm sure this will happen sometime - but this decision will need to  be approved by the IOC before it becomes official.

I'm sure you know better than me but if you read IOC reports they say

 

The IWF is requested to modify the results of the above-mentioned event accordingly and to consider any further action within its own competence.

 

Doesn't it mean that IOC will accept IWF's decision no matter what ? it's like they are saying they have done their part and it's now an IWF matter

The IOC disqualify the cheats but then the IWF make recommendations as to who gets the medals.

Then the IOC decides if it agrees with those recommendations.

The IOC will  then announce the medal reallocations.

I'm sure this will happen sometime in the future but the IOC does not work very fast.

I think that it will happen during or after the 2017 IOC Session in Lima

Possible - But it depends on whether there are more positives in the next rounds of testing on the Beijing and London samples
