The Men's Hammer Throw event at the 2004 Summer Olympics as part of the athletics program was held at the Athens Olympic Stadium on August 20 and August 22. The eight highest-ranked competitors after three rounds qualified for the final three throws to decide the medals. The qualification mark was set at 78.00 metres.
There were three favorites in 2004: the 2003 World Champion Ivan Tsikhan (BLR), the 2002 European Champion Adrián Annus (HUN), and Japan’s Koji Murofushi, bronze medalist at the 2003 Worlds, who had the third-longest throw ever – 84.86 metres (278-5) in 2003. In the final, Annus led from the outset, with 80.53 metres (264-2½) in round one, and 82.32 metres (270-1) in round two. In the third round, he improved to 83.19 metres (272-11¼), the best mark of the competition.
Murofushi was second throughout, getting his best mark of 82.91 metres (272-0¼) in the final round, seeming to win the silver medal. Annus then passed his drug tests both before and after the competition, but after the disqualification of Róbert Fazekas from the discus, his training partner with whom he shared a coach, he was called back for another test. Annus was back in Hungary and refused to return for another test. Analysis of his samples revealed that they came from two different people and he was disqualified, the gold medal reverting to Murofushi.
