Mikhail Mikhailovich Ryzhov (Russian: Михаил Михайлович Рыжов; born 17 December 1991) is a Russian race walker. He won the silver medal in the 50 kilometres walk event at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics in Moscow, Russia, but was disqualified for doping in 2015.[1]
Doping case edit
In September 2015 IAAF confirmed that Ryshov was provisionally suspended after a sample from an out-of-competition control in Saransk in June had been found positive for a prohibited substance.[2][3]
