Russia, the Country with the Most Doping Cases in the Olympics

In the Olympics, athletes who engage in doping or the use of prohibited substances to enhance performance can face sanctions, including the revocation of medals.

The most numerous cases of medal revocation involve athletes from Russia. Up to 2021, 51 Russian Olympic medals were revoked due to doping.

In December 2017, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) banned Russia from the 2018 Winter Olympics due to the discovery of systemic doping practices at the 2014 Olympics. This ban remained in effect until the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Following Russia, Ukraine and Belarus have experienced a significant number of similar cases, with 11 medals revoked from each country due to doping.

Next are Kazakhstan with 9 revoked Olympic medals, and the United States with 8 revoked Olympic medals.

The 2022 Winter Olympics concluded on Sunday, February 20th. Norway topped the medal table with 16 gold medals.
