[8] However, Ulegin tested positive for doping at those championships. [9] A November 29, 2003 International Canoe Federation (ICF) Executive Committee meeting in Prague, Czech Republic confirmed that Ulegin's B-sample was positive like the A-test he gave in Gainesville. [9] This led the ICF to issue a two-year suspension for Ulegin from September 14, 2003 to September 14, 2005.
