Recognition as the Best Newcomer

In the 2014-2015 season, Artem Tischenko was recognized by the International Biathlon Union as the best newcomer of the year. This accolade highlighted his impressive performance and potential in the sport.

Doping Controversy

However, Tischenko's career faced a setback on February 25, 2016, when it was revealed that he had tested positive for meldonium, a banned substance. The athlete refused to open the "B" sample, and a positive doping test was taken in Arber. As a result, Tischenko was temporarily suspended from competitions pending a hearing for his case.

Current Status

At present, Artem Tischenko remains sidelined from competing due to his suspension. The upcoming hearing will determine the consequences he will face for the positive doping test.
