Denied Doping Allegations: Forward Golysheva Clears Name Following Test Controversy
Hear it straight from the horse's mouth
Avtomobilist captain Anatoly Golyshev's rep, Shumi Babayev, spilled the beans to Match TV, denying rumors about Golyshev testing positive for performance-enhancing substances. The chatter swirled after Soviet Sport claimed Golyshev flunked a doping test during the KHL playoffs, landing him a suspension.
Babayev admitted he's yet to receive any official paperwork on the matter and aims to grill the powers that be for more juicy deets.
Golyshev, a die-hard Avtomobilist loyalist, has played his entire proball career with the team. In the tournament, his squad bumped uglies with Ak Bars, losing miserably in the 1/8 finals of the Gagarin Cup with a whopping score of 3:4.
