2003 ICF Flatwater Racing World Championships
- 2003 ICF Flatwater Racing World Championships
The 2002 ICF Flatwater Racing World Championships were held September 10-14, 2003 in Gainesville, Georgia, United States at Lake Lanier. Located north of Atlanta, this is also where the canoeing and rowing events for the 1996 Summer Olympics took place.
The men's competition consisted of nine Canadian (single paddle, open boat) and nine kayak events. Women competed in nine events, all in kayak.
This was the 33rd championships in flatwater racing.
Doping controversey
The 2003 championships are also known as the first time in the history of flatwater canoeing that an athlete tested positive for doping at a Summer Olympics or a World championship. Sergey Ulegin of Russia won two golds (C-4 200 m, C-4 500 m) and one silver (C-2 500 m), but was stripped of those medals when he tested positive for doping. His teammates in the C-2 500 m (Aleksandr Kostoglod), C-4 200 m (Kostoglod, Roman Kruglyakov, and Maxim Opalev), and C-4 500 m (Kostoglod, Kruglyakov, and Opalev) events also lost their medals as a result of Ulegin's positive test. Ulegin received a two-year suspension.
