Doping edit
In June 2015, Petr Ignatenko tested positive for human growth hormone (hGH) in an out-of-competition test on 8 April 2015. This is only the second hGH positive since Patrick Sinkewitz returned an adverse analytical finding for the substance. This represented RusVelo's fifth positive in less than two years, Ignatenko was subsequently fired by the team.[2]
