Ivan Vasilyevich Dvorny (Иван Васильевич Дворный; 5 January 1952, Yasnaya Polyana, Moskalensky District, Omsk Oblast[1] – 21 September 2015, Omsk) was a Russian basketball player who won the gold medal with the Soviet national basketball team at the 1972 Summer Olympics.

The Pravda newspaper published an accusatory article about the "struggle for the purity of morals of our Olympic champions".

The 21-year-old athlete was charged with Article 78 (smuggling – from 5 to 10 years) because a friend from Sverdlovsk helped him sell a pair of jeans and a shirt.

There was a "conspiracy" (criminal group), and on 7 June 1973, Dvorny found himself in solitary confinement in the Sverdlovsk pre-trial detention centre.
