Athletistic/ Winter sports. The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) has suspended speed skater Sergei Lisin for 8 years.

The reason for the disqualification was Lisin’s repeated violation of anti-doping rules. The suspension took effect on May 19, 2022, subject to time served on the provisional suspension. Previously, the athlete had already been disqualified for a similar violation for two years – from November 2012 to November 2014.

“Since the text of the news is worded very vaguely, I will explain myself – I have been sent off for disqualification until August 7, 2025. Naturally there will be an appeal,” Lisin wrote on his social networks. .
