Lysenko, silver medalist at the World Cup 2017 and gold medalist at the indoor World Cup 2018, violated the anti-doping rules regarding stay reporting for a third time in June 2018. This gave him a temporary suspension.

Several Russian athletics stops have been temporarily shut down by the International Athletics Association for attempting to prevent the investigation of Lysenko. They must have made false statements and forged documents to try to explain Lysenko's absence.

Elite athletes must tell you where they are so that unannounced doping tests can be done.
