Kamenev suspended two years amid doping scandal
The forward was found to have used performance enhancing drugs.
According to a report from KHL insider Jeremy Garrett, CSKA Moscow forward Vladislav Kamenev, formerly of the Colorado Avalanche, has been suspended for two years for using performance enhancing drugs.
Garrett reports that meldonium was discovered in his sample back in March, 2025. His suspension is believed to carry him through the 2026-27 season and explains why he was not available to play for CSKA this past season.
From Garrett:
The 29 year old has won two Gagarin Cup championships with CSKA and has three goals and 13 points in 66 NHL games split between the Avalanche and Nashville Predators.
