American Adam Nelson was finally awarded his 2004 Athens shot put gold by the International Olympic Committee on Thursday, one of three athletes upgraded due to positive dope tests.

Nelson, 37, received the medal after the sample of the original winner, Belarussian Yuriy Bilonog, was retested positive in February.

Denmark's Joachim Broechner Olsen was upgraded to the shot put silver and Spaniard Manuel Martinez the bronze.
