The Russian Anti-Doping Association, RUSADA, has issued a pair of suspensions to swimmers, both with cases dating back to 2023.
Aleksandr Borovtsov, 27, and Denis Beskorovainyi, 23, both swam their last meets in 2023.
Beskorovainyi, who represented the Moscow Region, last swam at the December 2023 Vladimir Salnikov Cup. There, his best finish was 4th in the 100 IM in a time of 53.44. That 100 IM was his best event, and in 2022 he finished 5th at the Russian Short Course Championships and Solidarity Games in a best time of 53.23.
He was given a two year suspension, backdated to the start of his provisional suspension on January 9, 2024. The shorter ban length implies that the arbitrator(s) who decided on the suspension believed that he did not intentionally dope.
Borovtsov was given a suspension of 4 years and 6 months starting on the day of the decision, but with credit for the served period of the provisional suspension back to December 18, 2023. A suspension of longer than 4 years implies intentional doping and aggravating factors in the decision, though no specific justification for the ban length has been announced.
Borovtsov tested positive for metabolites of drostanolone, tamoxifen, and anastrozole, which is a cocktail of an anabolic steroid and hormone modulators.
His last meet of record that SwimSwam could identify came in July 2022 at the Russian Championships. There he finished 19th in the 50 free (23.21) and 30th in the 100 free (50.89) in long course. In his best event, the 50 free, his best time of 22.77 came in October 2020 in long course.
Neither swimmer represented Russia internationally in any significant way, though Borovtsov did swim at a Russian-hosted World Cup meet in 2018.
