Alexey Voyevoda ( Russian Алексей Иванович Воевода , Ukrainian Олексій Іванович Воєвода * 9. May 1980 in Kalynowyzja , Rajon Varva , Oblast Chernihiv , Ukrainian SSR ) is a Russian Bobsportler and Armwrestler .

Career

Wojewoda began his career in bobsleigh in 2002. At the 2006 Winter Olympics , he won the silver medal in the four-man bobsleigh together with Filipp Yegorow , Alexei Seliwerstow and Alexander Zubkov . At the 2010 Winter Olympics , he won the bronze medal in the two-man bobsleigh as a pusher for Alexander Zubkov. At the 2011 World Bobsleigh Championship at Königssee, the duo won the world championship title in the two-man bobsleigh for the first time. At the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi , he was the Olympic champion in the two-man bobsleigh as a pusher for Alexander Zubkov. He also won the four-man bobsleigh with Subkow as an Olympic champion.

After that, Wojewoda became president of the Russian Sled Association. On November 24, 2017 , the International Olympic Committee withdrew the medals he had won in Sochi for doping; the judgment can still be appealed to the International Sports Court. On December 18, 2017, the IOC suspended him for life.

Before moving to bobsleigh, Alexei Wojewoda was three times world champion and three times world cup winner in professional arm wrestling.
