Making it to the Olympics takes a lifetime of hard work and dedication. For those athletes who are good enough to get there, it’s only the beginning — the end goal is taking gold (or silver or bronze). An Olympic medal is a huge deal, but sometimes it’s earned unfairly. And sometimes, the International Olympic Committee takes it away.
When an athlete has sacrificed everything for a medal, losing it is devastating. And while some losses have certainly come on account of doping, others have happened for reasons beyond an athlete’s control. Here are the times athletes were stripped of their Olympic medals.
