In 2004 following the Olympic Games he was stripped of his gold medal "won" in Athens for a doping violation.
He was stripped of his medal just a few days after winning, losing the gold medal to Koji Murofushi.
The International Olympic Committee concluded, that his urine samples—taken before and after competition—showed
evidence of belonging to different people, therefore indicating tampering.
The IOC also attempted to test Annus shortly after his competition in Athens, but Annus refused the test,
which by itself warranted his disqualification.
