Russian athletics coach Vladimir Mokhnev banned for 10 years Friday Dec 23,2016

Vladimir Mokhnev, former athletics coach of Russian whistleblower Yuliya Stepanova, has been banned for 10 years for offences involving banned substances, said the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

In the same ruling Anastasiya Bazdyreva, an 800 metres runner, was suspended for two years for the “use or attempted use by an athlete of a prohibited substance or a prohibited method”.

CAS said it was acting as the decision-making authority instead of the All Russia Athletics Federation (ARAF), banned by the global athletics body IAAF last year following allegations of widespread and state-sponsored doping.

Mokhnev was “found to have violated the IAAF rules relating to possession, trafficking and administration of banned substances and/or methods”, CAS said in a statement on Friday Dec 23,2016
