Svetlana Vasilyeva

Svetlana Mikhailovna Vasilyeva (Russian: Светлана Михайловна Васильева; born July 24, 1992 is a Russian race walker.[1]

For the racing cyclist, see Svetlana Vasilieva.

She won the 2011 Russian Winter Walking Championships in Sochi in the 10000 m track walk with a time of 42:43. Unfortunately this mark will not be ratified as a world junior record as it was hand-timed.[2]

In August 2017, the All-Russia Athletic Federation announced that Vasilyeva had received a four year ban for doping violations, to be applied from 13 December 2016 onwards. She was also stripped of her previous results from 18 October 2011 until 14 July 2013 and 24 May until 12 December 2016.[3]
