The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has punished Russian biathlete Alexey Slepov for two years for violating anti-doping rules, the press service of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) announced.
The court annulled the decision of the Disciplinary Anti-Doping Committee of RUSADA from September 30, 2021 to disqualify Slepov for a period of 12 months.
