Maksym Mazuryk (Ukrainian: Максим Мазурик; born April 2, 1983) is a Ukrainian pole vaulter. He was born in Donetsk. He is sporter of Fenerbahçe S.K. from Turkey.[1][2]

Career

He was the 2002 World Junior champion, and finished 8th in the pole vault final at the 2006 European Athletics Championships in Gothenburg. He won a silver medal at the 2010 European Championships in Barcelona.[3]

His personal best is 5.82 metres achieved in June 2008 in Yalta.

On 18 October 2016, he was sanctioned by IOC for testing positive to turinabol at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.[4] However, the use of doping did not bring Mazuryk an athletic advantage, as he had failed to qualify for the final.

In May 2017, he was disqualified for two years.[5]
