Uzbekistan Para powerlifter Jasurbek Yuldoshov receives three-year ban for committing an anti-doping rule violation

~ Para powerlifter returned an adverse analytical finding for a Prohibited Substance at the Bangkok 2026 Asia-Oceania Open Para Powerlifting Championships.

"VAN" (Sports Desk - 05.09.2026) :: The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has banned Para powerlifting athlete Jasurbek Yuldoshov for a period of three (3) years for committing an anti-doping rule violation (ADRV), in breach of the IPC Anti-Doping Code.

The Uzbek athlete returned an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for a Prohibited Substance in a urine sample provided in-competition on 11 April 2026 during the Men’s over 107kg competition at the Bangkok 2026 Asia-Oceania Open Para Powerlifting Championships.

The substance was a metabolite of drostanolone. Drostanolone is included on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) 2026 Prohibited List under the class S1.1 - Anabolic Androgenic Steroids.

The athlete was provisionally suspended by the IPC on 18 May 2026 pending a resolution of his case.

The athlete subsequently accepted his commission of the ADRV, and the consequences proposed by the IPC. As a result of his violation, the athlete will be ineligible for competition and other sporting activities (other than authorised anti-doping education or rehabilitation programs) for three (3) years from 18 May 2026 and ending on 17 May 2029.

The results obtained by the athlete in the Men’s over 107kg competition at the Bangkok 2026 Asia-Oceania Open Para Powerlifting Championships are automatically disqualified, with all resulting Consequences, including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes. All other results obtained by the athlete from the date the Sample was collected until the commencement of the Provisional Suspension are also disqualified, with all resulting Consequences, including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes.

Each athlete is strictly liable for the substances found in their sample. An ADRV occurs whenever a prohibited substance (or its metabolites or markers) is found in their bodily substance, whether or not the athlete intentionally or unintentionally used a prohibited substance or was negligent or otherwise at fault.

As a signatory of the World Anti-Doping Code (the WADC), the IPC remains committed to a doping-free sporting environment at all levels. The IPC has established the IPC Anti-Doping Code in compliance with the general principles of the WADC, including the WADC International Standards, expecting that, in the spirit of sport, it will lead the fight against doping in sport for athletes with an impairment.
