Three Russian race-walkers, including world record holder Vladimir Kanaikin, walk away with positive dope testing
From SI comes news that 3 Russian race-walkers will be sitting, not walking, during the Olympics:
Vladimir Kanaikin, the 20-kilometer world record holder, along with Alexei Voyevodin - the 50K bronze medalist at the Athens Olympics - and Viktor Burayev tested positive in an out-of-competition test in their hometown of Saransk in April, their coach Viktor Chyogin told the news agency All Sport.
We reported last week that Kanaikin tested positive last spring in an out-of-competition protocol; however the other names are new....medal winners too. Kanaikin adds to the list of world record holders who doped. Sign up with Tim Montgomery and Justin Gatlin in that club.
