MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian bobsledder who won a gold medal at the 2014 Olympics has been banned for four years for doping.
The Russian Anti-Doping Agency said Tuesday that Dmitry Trunenkov, who won the four-man bobsled at the Sochi Games, tested positive last year and has been banned by the Russian Bobsled Federation.
Neither organization specified what substance Trunenkov tested positive for. The ban won’t affect his Olympic gold medal.
“We are very disappointed,” RBF president Alexander Zubkov, who was Trunenkov’s teammate at the 2014 Olympics, said in comments to state news agency TASS.
