The Russian Athletics Federation announced on its website the four-year suspension of Alexei Bartsaykin (RUS), based on abnormal hematological profile parameters in the biological passport.

Disqualification starts on July 4, 2017.

However, all athlete results have been canceled from September 9, 2012.

The rewrite results should be as follows:

Taicang 2014 World Cup

- Individual in 50km: 4th place to Oleksiy Kazanin (UKR), and all athletes gain one place

- Teams in the 50km: Alexei Bartsaykin replaced in fourth place Yury Andronov who in turn was previously disqualified for doping. The current disqualification of Bartsaykin causes Russia not to have the minimum number of athletes to form the team (only score Mikhail Ryzhov and Ivan Noskov). The team's victory then passes to Ukraine, second place to China, third place to Spain, fourth place to Italy, fifth place to Colombia, sixth place to India and seventh place to Guatemala.
