Piotr Lisek

Piotr Lisek (born 16 August 1992) is a Polish athlete specialising in the pole vault.

[4][5] Lisek began his career as a high jumper, but later switched to pole vault, having decided he was too short for his original event.

[1] He was coached by Vyacheslav Kalinichenko, who also trained Monika Pyrek, one of the most successful Polish female pole vaulters.

At the 2012 Polish Championships, he tested positive for an illegal substance, methylhexanamine, and was banned for six months.

[6] The athlete stated that he took the substance unknowingly in an energy drink and even listed it with the supplements he was using before the anti-doping control, which contributed to the reduced period of suspension.
