Ice hockey player Vitalijs Pavlovs tested positive for methylhexaneamine and was thrown out of the Olympics. [5]

Latvia originally won two silver medals and two bronze medals. In November 2017, the Russian Bobsleigh teams that came first and fourth in the four-man event, was disqualified. In addition, the Russian Bobsleigh teams that came first and fourth in the two-man event, was also disqualified. This meant Latvia moved from the original 5th place to the bronze medal position in the two-man event and from the original silver medal to the gold medal position in the four-man event respectively. [6] [7] [8] The IOC requested that the FIBT modify the results, and the medals were redistributed accordingly. [9] [10] Also, the gold medal in the four-man Bobsleigh event is Latvia's first Winter Olympic gold medal. [11]
