Aleksey Vladimirovich Lovchev (Russian: Алексе́й Влади́мирович Ло́вчев; born 13 June 1989) is a Russian weightlifter.[2]
Career
He competed at the 2013 World Championships in the Men's +105 kg, winning the Bronze medal and the European Championships 2014, winning the Gold medal in the Snatch, Clean and Jerk and total.[3]

However, Lovchev failed a doping test[4] and was stripped of the World Championship gold medal and world records.
In May 2016, Lovchev was banned for four years after failing A and B-samples: he tested positive for ipamorelin, a hormone growth drug. He contested this decision at Court of Arbitration for Sport,[5][6][7] but his appeal was dismissed.[8]
