Britain’s Robbie Grabarz has been awarded an Olympic high jumping silver medal after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) reallocated results because of doping cases.

Grabarz, who retired in 2018, won bronze behind Russia’s gold medallist Ivan Ukhov at the 2012 Games in London.

However, Ukhov has been stripped of his gold after participating in Russia’s state-sponsored doping programme.

American Erik Kynard has been awarded the gold medal.

Grabarz, 34, is upgraded to silver along with Canada’s Derek Drouin and Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim, who tied for gold with Italy’s Gianmarco Tamberi at the Tokyo Games in August.
