Doping controversy

Dmitiry Sabin of Ukraine won the silver in the C-1 200 m event, but was disqualified when he tested positive for doping. Sabin became the first person to fail a doping test in canoe sprint at an Olympic or world championship level though he did compete at the following year's world championships.
