  • Cas Upholds Aiu Charges Against Danil Lysenko and Imposes a Six Year Ban on the Russian High Jumper
    PRESS RELEASE CAS UPHOLDS AIU CHARGES AGAINST DANIL LYSENKO AND IMPOSES A SIX YEAR BAN ON THE RUSSIAN HIGH JUMPER 05 JULY 2021, MONACO: The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has upheld charges laid by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) against Russian high jumper Danil Lysenko, for multiple breaches of the Anti-Doping rules including whereabouts failures and tampering with the results management process. The case was heard directly by CAS in May under the terms of the athlete’s Neutral Athlete agreement with World Athletics, and a CAS Panel has imposed a six-year ban on Lysenko (two years for the whereabouts breaches and four years for Tampering) commencing on 3 August 2018, the date of his provisional suspension. The CAS Panel further held that two years of the six year period of ineligibility should be suspended on account of the Substantial Assistance that the athlete provided to the AIU in bringing charges against former RusAF officials, Dmitry Shlyakhtin and Artur Karamyan and his ineligibility will therefore end on 3 August 2022. The CAS decision is final and binding and means that the athlete will now miss this year’s Olympic Games as well as next year’s World Championships in Eugene. The reasoned decision of the CAS Panel has not yet been made available but will be published in due course. In a separate proceeding, the athlete’s coach, Evgeniy Zagorulko, admitted to violations of Tampering and Complicity in connection with the AIU’s investigation into the Lysenko whereabouts case and accepted a 4-year period of ineligibility under the applicable rules.
