Maxim Mikhailovich Vylegzhanin ({{langx|ru|Максим Михайлович Вылегжанин}}; born 18 October 1982) is a Russian former cross country skier and a three-time Olympic silver medalist at the 2014 Sochi Olympics in 50 km freestyle, 4 × 10 km relay and team sprint. He was stripped of his 2014 Olympic medals by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on 9 November 2017, however on 1 February 2018, his results were restored as a result of the successful appeal.{{cite news|url=https://www.olympic.org/news/ioc-sanctions-four-russian-athletes-and-closes-one-case-as-part-of-oswald-commission-findings|title=IOC sanctions four Russian athletes and closes one case as part of Oswald Commission findings|publisher=IOC|date=9 November 2017|accessdate=9 November 2017}}{{cite web|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|publisher=Court of Arbitration for Sport|accessdate=1 February 2018}}
Vylegzhanin has competed since 2002. His first World Cup start was on 22 January 2005 in Pragelato, Italy. He won a silver medal in the 50 km event (time: 1:59:38:8 – average speed 25,1 km/h) at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2009 in Liberec.
Career
Vylegzhanin's best individual World Cup finish was first place in the 30 km in La Clusaz in December 2010. He has a total of four victories ranging from pursuit to 50 km between 2007 and 2008, all in lesser events. He also finished eighth in the 4 x 10 km relay at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Doping case
In December 2016, the International Ski Federation provisionally suspended six Russian cross-country skiers due to doping violations during the 2014 Winter Olympics, including Vylegzhanin.[http://skitrax.com/alexander-legkov-headlines-6-russian-xc-skiers-and-2-biathletes-provisionally-suspended/ Six Russian XC Skiers and Two Biathletes Provisionally Suspended due to McLaren Report] In December 2017, Vylegzhanin was disqualified for doping offences by the International Olympic Committee, and his 2014 Olympic results were annulled.{{cite news |url= https://stillmed.olympic.org/media/Document%20Library/OlympicOrg/IOC/Who-We-Are/Commissions/Disciplinary-Commission/2017/SML-006-Decision-Alexander-LEGKOV.pdf |title= Decision of the IOC Disciplinary Commission |format= PDF |website= olympic.org }}{{cite news|url=https://www.sport-express.ru/skiing/news/mok-lishil-legkova-zolota-sochi-na-50-km-rossiya-teryaet-serebro-v-estafete-1329734/|title=МОК лишил Легкова золота Сочи на 50 км, Россия теряет серебро в эстафете|publisher=Sport-Express|language=ru|accessdate=1 November 2017}} In February 2018, the international Court of Arbitration for Sport
