IOC for life disqualified the skiers of Zhevkov and Belov for doping

The disciplinary commission of the International Olympic Committee led by Denis Oswald for life disqualified Russian skiers Alexander Lygovov and Evgeny Belov for the use of doping at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. This was reported by RBC with reference to the president of the Russian skiing Federation Elena Vyalbe.

The results of Legkov and Belov in competitions are canceled. Golkova was obliged to return the gold medal awarded for the races of 50 kilometers, and the silver - for the baton. The Olympic Committee of Russia has an obligation to control the execution of the decision.

The Russian skiing Federation intends to appeal to the sports arbitration court in Lausanne.

In May 2016, the former director of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov said in an interview with The New York Times that there were only 14 bobsle skiers and two members of the Russian bobsle team at the Sochi Olympiad, which ultimately won gold honey.

In two years, which passed after the doping scandal erupted, the IOC annulled the results of a number of Russian athletes involved in various sports.
