Bence Horváth (born 1 August 1992) is a Hungarian sprint canoeist.[1]
In 2017, Horváth won silver medals in the K-1 200 metre event at both the World and European championships.[2][3] However, it was subsequently revealed he tested positive for EPO in an out-of-competition test on 12 June that year; as a result, he was stripped of both medals and served a four-year ban backdated to said test.[4]
