"Defective medals will be systematically replaced by the Monnaie de Paris and engraved identically. The replacement process should begin in the coming weeks," it added.
An IOC spokesperson also confirmed that the IOC has changed most of the damaged medals since August and will continue to do so in future.
"We have replaced all the damaged medals since August and we will continue to do so in the same professional manner as before," said the spokesperson.
According to French media outlet La Lettre, the medals "had to bear the brunt of the new products used", as new regulations banned a component of the varnish previously employed and "had to be replaced at short notice."
