Eduard Vorganov (born 7 December 1982) is a Russian professional road bicycle racer who rides for team Minsk Cycling Club.[1] In June 2012, Vorganov won the Russian Road Race Championships.

On 5 February 2016, he was suspended for a positive test of meldonium in a drug test conducted on 14 January.[2][3] His provisional suspension was lifted in May 2016, as evidence emerged that athletes who had taken meldonium before January 1, the date the ban started, could have tested positive after the fact.[4] In December 2016, Vorganov joined the Minsk Cycling Club team for the 2017 season.[3]
