Indian freestyle wrestler,Yogeshwar Dutt's bronze medal from 2008 Beijing Olympics promoted to silver medal after Besik Kudukhov tested positive for a banned substance, but it is doubtful that the Indian grappler will be given the gold if the ultimate winner is also established to have failed the dope test.

Yesterday’s report said,“Yogeshwar might see other upgrading and be given gold after buzzes that 2008 Olympics champion Toghrul Asgarov of Azerbaijan had also failed dope test.However, there has been no official confirmation of this either from the World Anti-Doping Agency or the United World Wrestling”

As per the top sources from WFI, “even if Asgarov tests positive, Dutt is not going to benefit from it. He added that going by the rules, the gold will go to another bronze winner Coleman Scott of the United States because he lost to the eventual champion”

Yogeshwar’s bronze medal has been upgraded to silver just because he lost to the losing finalist Kudukhov, who expired in a car crash.

Further, Dutt also has to experience dope test and come clean to be awarded the silver.
