The Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR) delegation said Tuesday the athlete had tested positive for banned substance meldonium, after winning the mixed-doubles bronze with his partner Anastasia Bryzgalova.

The Russian delegation stressed the test showed that meldonium had been used only once and would not give Krushelnitckii any competitive edge.
