Controversies Italian wrestler Frank Chamizo stated that he was offered a $300,000 bribe to lose to Azerbaijani wrestler Turan Bayramov, which Chamizo refused. Several of Chamizo's takedowns were not counted by the referee, and the match was tied 8-8 into the final seconds when Chamizo scored a takedown and earned two points. However, the referee overturned the points after Bayramov's coach challenged. This decision was heavily criticized by the Italian Wrestling Federation and other observers, as Bayramov's knees clearly touched the mat. Although the match was tied, Bayramov was declared the winner on criteria, and consequently moved into the finals and qualified for the Olympics. Chamizo accused the referee of match fixing. Two weeks after the tournament, the refereeing body that officiated the match were suspended by the UWW after two independent panels ruled the bout was scored incorrectly. However, due to a policy the result could not be changed after the winner is officially declared.
