The original podium.

On 24 November 2017, the IOC imposed a life ban on bobsledder Alexandr Zubkov. He was stripped of 2 gold medals (two-man and four-man bobsleigh).[2] On 18 December 2017, Zubkov's two-man bobsleigh teammate Alexey Voyevoda also received a lifetime ban by the IOC due to doping violations at the 2014 Winter Olympics.[3] On 29 November 2017, IOC also sanctioned Alexander Kasjanov for doping offences and stripped his team of their results.[4] The IOC requested that the FIBT modify the results, and the medals were redistributed accordingly.[5]

Records

edit

While the IOC does not consider bobsled times eligible for Olympic records, the FIBT does maintain records for both the start and a complete run at each track it competes.[citation needed]
