Notes

^ After the announcement of the disqualification for doping of the athlete Yuri Bilonog (Ukraine), who won the gold medal at the time, there was a new distribution of medals in March 2013. According to a statement from the IOC, sent to the Spanish Olympic Committee, the new owner of the gold medal went to Adam Nelson of the United States, the silver medal went to Joachim Olsen of Denmark, and the bronze medal went to Manuel Martínez of Spain. [6]
^ Ivan Tsikhan (Belarus), was disqualified due to doping. There was no decision of the IOC to redistribute the medals. [7]
^ The United States victory has been in doubt since 2010 when Crystal Cox, who ran in the preliminary round, admitted to using anabolic steroids from 2001 to 2004. On July 2012, IOC decided to revoke the gold medal from Crystal Cox and asked the IAAF to make its decision about the US squad. On 31 May 2013 the IOC and IAAF announced that the result would stand, allowing the rest of the US squad to retain their medals and that they considered the case closed.
^ Svetlana Krivelyova (Russia), was disqualified due to doping. There was no decision of the IOC redistributes the medals.[8]
^ Iryna Yatchenko (BLR), was disqualified due to doping. The IOC decided that the medal was reallocated to the athlete Věra Pospíšilová-Cechlová (CZE) during the IOC Executive Board in 30 May 2013.[9] [10]
