Olympic gymnastics champion Oleg Verniaiev of Ukraine has been provisionally suspended, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) confirmed Monday.
An FIG spokesperson did not detail the nature of Verniaiev’s suspension, saying the ban is in place “until the end of the procedure that is currently in progress.”
“The FIG will not comment on an ongoing procedure,” the spokesperson said.
Attempts to reach Verniaiev and Ukraine’s gymnastics federation have been unsuccessful.
Verniaiev, the Rio Olympic parallel bars gold medalist and all-around silver medalist, has been listed as suspended on the FIG website since at least late December.
