In December 2017, he was one of eleven Russian athletes who were banned for life from the Olympics by the International Olympic Committee, after doping offences at the 2014 Winter Olympics.{{Cite web |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-olympic-bans/ioc-bans-11-russian-winter-athletes-for-life-for-sochi-2014-doping-idUSKBN1EG1R0 |title=IOC bans 11 Russian winter athletes for life for Sochi 2014 doping |access-date=22 December 2017|work=Reuters}} In January 2018, he and Tatyana Ivanova successfully appealed against the lifetime ban as well as decision to strip his medals from Sochi Olympics at the court of arbitration for sport.{{Cite news|url=http://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Media_Release__decision_RUS_IOC_.pdf|title=THE COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT (CAS) DELIVERS ITS DECISIONS IN THE MATTER OF 39 RUSSIAN ATHLETES V/ THE IOC:28 APPEALS UPHELD, 11 PARTIALLY UPHELD|date=2018-02-01|work=THE COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT|access-date=2018-02-01|language=en}} As a result, both his medals were reinstated.
