Russian tennis player Oleksiy Mokrov received a four-year suspension for the use of banned nandrolone. His results have been annulled since November 2024, and the athlete has been disqualified from January 2025. Mokrov denies this decision, but the ITIA claims that the violation of anti-doping rules has been proven.



Mokrov's doping test was positive for nandrolone in November 2024, and for this, he received a four-year suspension. Points and prizes during this period will be annulled.


It is also worth noting that Russian skater Oleksandra Sayutina has sparked some discontent due to her participation in propaganda events organized by Vladimir Putin. This contradicts the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee regarding the neutrality of athletes.



As a result, Russian athletes continue to violate anti-doping rules and participate in political events, which may have negative consequences for their careers and reputations.
