Career

Yerokhin competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing but tested positive for prohibited substances and was subsequently disqualified for two years.[2]

In August 2013 the Russian Athletics Federation announced that Yerokhin had received a further ban after abnormal hematological profile indicators were found on his biological passport. He received a life ban and was stripped of all his results since 25 February 2011. This included his 5th-place finish at the 2012 Summer Olympics and his 2nd place at the European Race Walking Cup.[3]
