Ukrainian Olympian and two-time European champion Oleksandr Pielieshenko has died on the front line of Russia's war in Ukraine at age 30, the Ukrainian Weightlifting Federation (UWF) said on Monday.

Pielieshenko ranked fourth at the Rio 2016 Olympics in the men's 85 kg category and won gold at the sport's European championships in 2016 and 2017.

He was banned after failing a drug test in 2018.
