The medals were awarded to Krisztián Pars of Hungary and Koji Murofushi of Japan respectively. Tsikhan announced that he and Devyatovskiy intended to appeal the IOC's decision.[3] In June 2010 the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the disqualified Belarusians should get their original medals back due to errors at the Chinese medical lab.[4] ScheduleAll times are China standard time (UTC+8) Date | Time | Round | Friday, 15 August 2008 | 10:40 | Qualifications | Sunday, 17 August 2008 | 19:10 | Finals | |
