Doping controversy
At the 2003 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Gainesville, Georgia in the United States , Ulegin initially won golds in the C-4 200 m[ 6] and C-4 500 m events,[ 7] and a silver in the C-2 500 m event.[ 8] However, the medal was withdrawn after Ulegin tested positive in a dope test at those championships.[ 9] A November 29, 2003 International Canoe Federation (ICF) Executive Committee meeting in Prague , Czech Republic confirmed that Ulegin's B-sample was positive like the A-test he gave in Gainesville.[ 9] This led the ICF to issue a two-year suspension for Ulegin from September 14, 2003 to September 14, 2005.[ 9] Ulegin became the second sprint canoeist as of 2009[update] stripped of his medals for doping either at the Summer Olympics or the World championships as a result.[ 9] Ulegin served his two-year suspension, missing the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and the 2005 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Zagreb , Croatia .
