Alexander Zverev (sprinter)

Alexander Zverev (born 7 November 1989) is a Paralympian athlete from Russia competing mainly in category T13 sprint events.

[2] Due to a visual impairment he was eligible to compete in parasports and was classified as a T13 athlete, for sportspeople with poor vision, but who do not require a running guide.

At the final, despite running a personal best of 48.83, he was beaten into the silver medal position by fellow countryman Alexey Labzin.

[2] In 2015, in the buildup to the Summer Paralympics in Rio, Zverev failed a drug test taken during an IPC Athletics Grand Prix held at Berlin in June.

After winning the 200m sprint at Berlin, his urine sample tested positive for Cannabinoids (cannabis) and he was subsequently banned from athletics for nine months.
