Tatyana Viktorovna Lysenko (Template:Lang-ru, born October 9, 1983 in Bataysk) is a Russian hammer thrower. A two-time World Champion, her career has been blighted by repeated doping infractions.

Career

Lysenko's first world record was 77.06 metres, achieved on July 15, 2005 in Moscow, beating the old record of Mihaela Melinte by 0.99 metres.[2] On June 12, 2006 she lost the record to Gulfiya Khanafeyeva, who threw 77.26 metres at the Russian athletics championships in Tula.[3] However, Lysenko threw 77.41 metres on June 24 in Zhukovsky[4] and 77.80 metres in Tallinn, Estonia on August 15.[5] On July 21, 2007 it was reported that she failed a drug test, testing positive for a women's hormone blocker.[6] In 2008, she was found guilty of using 6α-methylandrostendione and received a two-year ban (15.07.07 – 14.07.09) and disqualification of all results from 9 May 2007, including her world record of 78.61 m set on May 26, 2007.[7]

Lysenko returned to competition in July 2009, taking the Russian title with 76.41 m.[8] She won the gold at the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup and ranked third in the inaugural IAAF Hammer Throw Challenge at the end of the year, with a combined score of 223.96 metres for her three best throws.[9] In 2011, she won her first world championship in the first world championships where the top three women all went over 75 m.[10] She was awarded the hammer throw gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics with a throw of 78.18 m. She won the 2013 World Championships with a world leading throw of 78.80 m.[11]

In May 2016 La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that a retest of Lysenko's samples from the 2012 Summer Olympics had tested positive for doping products, her third failure. If confirmed in the B sample, she stood to lose her Olympic and second World titles and faced a lifetime ban from the sport.[12] In October, she was stripped of her Olympic gold medal.[13]
