The Flag of the Soviet Union.svg  Soviet Union  (URS) were forced to scratch from the competition after team member Boris Onischenko was ejected from the competition during the fencing event after it was discovered he had wired his épée with a concealed push button circuit breaker that enabled him to register a hit at any time.

The other Soviet team members, Pavel Lednev and Boris Mosolov, were allowed to continue individually, but since three athletes are required to compete in a team event, it was ruled their results would receive no score in the team competition.
