United World Wrestling announced that Davit Modzmanashvili (UZB) has been banned until October 2, 2026, following the re-analysis of his sample from the 2012 London Olympics. Modzmanashvili, who has competed for Uzbekistan since 2017, tested positive for the prohibited substance dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (oral turinabol).

Modzmanashvili claimed a silver medal in freestyle wrestling at 120kg and his removal re-shuffled the order of medalists at the 2012 London Games. Bilyal Makhov (RUS) became the new silver medalist and Daulet Shabanay (KAZ) the bronze medalist.
