Ukrainian shot putter (born 1974)
Yuriy Bilonoh (Ukrainian: Юрій Білоног, also romanized as Yuriy Bilonog; born March 9, 1974) is a Ukrainian shot putter.
Born in Bilopillia, Sumy Oblast, he began athletics at a Children and Youth Sports School in Bilopillia, where his first trainer was Vladimir Belikov.[1]
Bilonoh was initially awarded a gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games, but this medal was withdrawn in 2012 as a result of an anti-doping case.[2][3]
