UIPM Statement on Maksim Kustov (RUS)
The UIPM Doping Review Panel has imposed a two-year suspension on the athlete Maksim Kustov of Russia after he was found to have committed an historic anti-doping violation.
The suspension invalidates all results in international Modern Pentathlon achieved by the athlete in the period from August 9, 2014 – the date of his adverse analytical finding (AAF) – to December 31, 2016.
A sample provided by Kustov (RUS) on August 9, 2014 was found to contain traces of trenbolone, a prohibited substance according to the UIPM Medical Rules 2013 which were in force at the time. The sample was initially marked as negative by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RADA) but it was re-examined by the World Anti-Doping Agency in the context of the McLaren Report investigation, which found evidence of a systemic doping scheme in place in Russia at the time.
In this case, the period of suspension was partly absorbed by a four-year ban that Kustov (RUS) already serving from October 4, 2016 – which resulted from analysis of his biological passport by RUSADA.
Kustov (RUS) did not reply to a notification of the case against him and therefore waived his right to a hearing. UIPM records show that the athlete has not taken part in a recognised international competition since September 2016.

The UIPM Doping Review Panel has acquitted the athlete Pavel Sekretev of Russia after an investigation into an alleged historic anti-doping violation.
A sample provided by Sekretev (RUS) on June 2, 2012 was found to contain traces of Furosemide, a diuretic substance prohibited according to the UIPM Medical Rules in force at the time.
