• A cyclist and a track and field athlete have been sanctioned for anti-doping rule violations, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) announced. Viktor Manakov (Виктор Манаков), who rode for the Marathon-Tula team, has been sanctioned with a six month ban that expires on 4 April 2021. It is understood that Manakov, who was represented by former RUSADA Director General Anna Antseliovich (Анна Анцелиович), successfully argued that his anti-doping rule violation (ADRV) was caused by a contaminated supplement which did not list the substance involved on its label. Nadezhda Fedorova (Надежду Федорову), a track and field athlete and not the Paralympic cross country skier of the same name, has been sanctioned with a two year ban expiring on 20 June this year.
