Viktor Mikhailovich Chegin (Cyrillic: Ви́ктор Миха́йлович Чёгин; born 3 February 1962 in Bersenevka, Lyambirsky District) is a Russian racewalking coach. He was responsible for training all three athletes who swept the medals at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics; Olga Kaniskina, Valeriy Borchin and Sergey Kirdyapkin. His athletes also won gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics, in the names of Elena Lashmanova and Kirdyapkin, with Kaniskina also picking up a silver. Current world record holders Lashmanova, Denis Nizhegorodov, Sergey Morozov are all coached by Chegin. ==Biography== On July 16, 2014. Chegin was fired from the Russian team amid an investigation by the Russian Anti Doping Agency (RUSADA).〔http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/russia-cuts-walk-coach-amid-doping-probe/503592.html〕 Sovetsky Sport quoted Valentin Balakhnichev, head of the All-Russia Athletic Federation saying Chegin would not be part of the team for the European championship, as the recent doping scandals had “tarnished Chegin’s career” but said the coach would continue to train athletes in Russia.〔http://www.iol.co.za/sport/athletics/russia-cuts-coach-amid-doping-probe-1.1720805#.U8xXXVZV-sU〕 While not part of the official delegation, Chegin was spotted in August 2014 in Zurich along the course of the 2014 European Athletics Championships coaching his athletes after the ban was in place.〔http://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2014/08/14/europei-allenatore-russo-sospeso-per-doping-visto-a-bordo-pista-durante-marcia/1091100/〕 Banned for life in December 2012, after a second doping violation, Morozov continued to work with Chegin as an accredited Russian staff member at the 2014 IAAF World Race Walking Cup.〔http://www.smh.com.au/sport/athletics/iaaf-responds-to-jared-tallents-doping-concerns-20140625-zslbi.html〕 Chegin coaches at the Centre of the Olympic training of Mordovia in Saransk, where he has been highly honored as "the father of all the victories of our race walkers."〔http://prof.mrsu.ru/ext/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55:sports&catid=27:english&Itemid=19〕〔http://www.iaaf.org/news/news/chegin-the-centre-of-russian-race-walking-s〕〔http://www.iaaf.org/news/news/chegin-the-man-behind-the-saransk-race-walkin〕〔http://www.iaaf.org/news/news/nizhegorodov-begins-long-stroll-to-beijing-gl〕 He was named a "Chevalier of the Order of Glory of Mordovia"〔http://www.iaaf.org/news/news/double-russian-success-as-junior-records-fall〕 As early as 2008, there were accusations of systematic doping violations on the part of Chegin.〔http://www.theaustralian.com.au/archive/news/russian-cheats-tip-of-the-iceberg/story-e6frg7mo-1111117125934?nk=e000f5e6eaf6fd58fb06f314d5591118〕 Several other athletes have skipped major championships, which have raised suspicions of their trying to hide something.〔http://www.smh.com.au/sport/athletics/tallent-wary-of-absent-russians-20130813-2rurq.html〕 Several of Chegin's suspended athletes, including Sergey Bakulin, Elena Lashmanova and Ekaterina Medvedeva apparently competed in a race on December 30, 2014 according to photographs collected by Canadian race walker Evan Dunfee.〔https://uk.news.yahoo.com/another-russian-race-walker-under-scrutiny-183033755.html#NV5nFx6〕 Russian officials claim the photographs are from a 2012 event and released additional photographs which show different athletes on the awards stands in order construct a coverup. While Dunfee's elaborate deconstruction of the photos suggests some were concocted, it is clear that Chegin is at the heart of the awards, making him clearly complicit if a determination of cover up is found.〔http://dunfeewalks.weebly.com/canadian-tf-blog/the-beginning-of-the-end-for-saransk-and-russia〕 On July 15, 2015 Chegin was suspended by the Russian athletics federation. Prior to that date, Chegin had been allowed to coach.〔(Russia’s suspends top race-walking coach over doping washingtontimes.com 15 July 2015 )〕 The day before, IAAF ratified a new word record in the 20K walk by Liu Hong.〔http://www.iaaf.org/news/press-release/world-record-ratified-distance-medley-relay-2〕 Two record breaking performances, months earlier, by Chegin coached Olimpiada Ivanova and Olga Kaniskina were ignored in the process, ostensibly for judging inadequacy.〔http://www.iaaf.org/news/report/liu-20km-race-walk-world-record〕 In the year since Balakhnichev cleared Chegin to continuing coaching, Balakhnichev resigned his positions with the All-Russia Athletic Federation and as Treasurer of the IAAF in light of the scandal. His replacement, Vadim Zelichenok, said “Athletes will not be allowed to work with Chegin, or otherwise they come under sanctions.”〔 On 9 November 2015, an investigative report by the World Anti-Doping Agency recommended that Chegin be given a lifetime ban from sport, due to involvement in a wide-ranging Russian doping scheme in track and field. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Viktor Chegin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
