On 29 November 2016, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) banned Ugarova from competition, along with Tatyana Chernova and Ekaterina Sharmina. CAS stated, "All three athletes have been found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation - of the International Athletic Association Federation (IAAF) Competition Rules after analysis of their Athlete Biological Passports (ABP) showed evidence of blood doping."

Ugarova competed in athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics. She was awarded the bronze medal in the women's 1500 metres at the 2015 Summer Universiade before analysis found evidence of doping. Ugarova's times improved from 2:03 to 2:00 and 4:08 to 4:00 in three years from 2009 to 2012.
