Athletistic/ Football. Striker “Orenburg” Vladimir Obukhov extended the disqualification for doping.

“Yes, my suspension was extended and I was suspended for another six months. The AMA felt that I was not enough. I will continue to play, in the fall I will be able to resume training with the team. Fortunately, they supported me at the club, they understand that it was not my fault. The contract with me was not terminated and they are waiting for my return,” Obukhov said.

In July 2021, the striker was disqualified for an anti-doping rule violation that dates back to 2013. WADA later extended the ban for another six months.

Obukhov graduated from the Moscow “Spartak”. At the time of the first disqualification, he played for Rostov, who immediately after the incident terminated the contract with the player. In December last year, Vladimir became a player in Orenburg.
