Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli had won the gold in the Men's Shot Put F20 event at the Tokyo Paralympics 2020 on Tuesday. But he was stripped of the medal because he was classified as DNS (Did Not Start). As a result, Ukraine's Maksym Koval, who finished second, was given the gold,. Twitter, subsequently went absolutely furious with this decision and termed it a clear 'robbery'
'Not even close'
