During the award ceremony of Greco-Roman wrestling in 84kg, the Swedish wrestler, Mr. Ara Abrahamian, had an unsporting and intolerable behavior for FILA and IOC. Indeed, he left the podium and threw his medal in the middle of the mat as a sign of protestation against a decision made by the refereeing body during his semi-final match. The IOC Disciplinary Commission decided to disqualify Mr. Abrahamian, take away his medal, and expell him from the Olympic Games. On its side, FILA opened an investigation against this wrestler, his coach and his National Federation that will be heard after the Olympic Games in order for FILA to come down with the proper sanction against the parties concerned.
