Yogeshwar Dutt's London bronze medal may turn gold: Reports

Indian ace wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt's Bronze medal from London Olympics might turn into Gold. According a report from Hindustan Times on Friday that Yogeshwar will likely get the gold medal after the winner in his 60kg event at the 2012 London Olympics tested positive in a doping examination.

Few days ago, Yogeshwar had confirmed the news of his Bronze being upgraded to Silver after the samples of Russian wrestler Besik Kudukhov also returned positive.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been conducting retests of samples from Beijing and London Games to expose drug cheats. Moreover, Yogeshwar's samples will also be retested before the upgradation of medal is done.

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is yet to confirm the positive dope test of Azerbaijan Toghrul Asgarov to the United World Wrestling (UWW).

While Yogeshwar had a poor show at the Rio Olympics, when the Indian grappler crashed out after losing his qualification bout.
