Konopka finished third at the competition in Vienna, where he surprised by throwing five times past the 20-meter mark before taking the bronze medal with a throw of 20.87m. The athlete's coach, Karol Sula, has vowed to "leave athletics forever" if Konopka's second B sample turns out to be positive. In the event of a second positive result, Konopka could face a two-year ban from the sport.
