When a Nobel Prize has been awarded and received can it later be rescinded?

Olympic Medals can be rescinded and their recipient directed to return them.





This happen in 1912 with American athlete Jim Thorpe when it was later learned he played a season of semi-pro baseball for $10.





Can a Nobel Prize be later rescinded?|||if it on subject if research is found fake , but peace Prize can not be rescinded|||I think it is totally different. The Nobel Prize is not a competition in the way the Olympics or sports are. There are probably different people who are nominated, but there is no competition between them (That would sort of take away from the Nobel Peace Prize)





I don't think short of the winner starting a nuclear war or something, there would be a case where it would be rescinded. Since that has never happened, nobody knows if they would rescind the prize.





Everybody does not agree with the winner, especially this year, but I doubt if it would ever be taken back.|||Yes.
