Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics

The IOC upgraded original silver medalist Adam Nelson (USA) to gold, bronze medalist Joachim Olsen (DEN) to silver, and fourth place finisher Manuel Martínez (ESP) to bronze.

[1][2] b Adrian Annus (HUN) and Ivan Tsikhan (BLR) were disqualified due to doping.

[3] c Crystal Cox (USA), who ran in the preliminary round of a relay team, admitted to using anabolic steroids from 2001 to 2004.

The IOC decided to revoke the gold medal from Crystal Cox and asked the IAAF to make its decision about the US squad.

The IOC and IAAF announced that the result would stand because, according to the rules of the time, a team should not be disqualified because of a doping offense by an athlete who did not compete in finals.
