Armstrong, 34, celebrated the moment in front of about 700 people at thefieldhouse where he trains.

"Thank you to the IOC, the COC and the IAAF for getting this medal back to Canada where it really belongs," Armstrong said.

"It's very overwhelming with the people that came out and supported me today."

Armstrong finished fourth back in 2008, just a centimetre behind bronze medallist Andrei Mikhnevich of Belarus. That fourth-place finish was upgraded to third last August after Mikhnevich was banned for life for a second doping offence.

"It just shows if listen to your coach and you're dedicated and you work hard, you can do it clean. I'm a prime example of that," Armstrong said.​
