Spartak Moscow’s former goalkeeper, Maxim Levitsky, shared his memories about the doping scandal in the club and reminded that the new team doctor made him have a serum during his performances, saying it was a vitamin. His words were quoted by Ukrainian Football.
“The doctor appeared on the third day with a statement: “I gave you a wonderful medicine.” He said the “wonder drug” was so powerful it could only be used a few times in a lifetime. “When he offered me some pills, I flatly refused,” said the goalkeeper.
In 2003, bromantane was detected in doping tests conducted by Spartak players Yegor Titov and Yuri Kovtun at the headquarters of the Russian national team. As a result, Titov, captain of the Moscow team, was disqualified for a year. Later in the media information revealedIt was stated that more than 10 team players were caught doping.
Levitsky played for Spartak Moscow from 2001 to 2002. He played 49 matches for the club, conceding 57 goals and keeping 17 clean sheets. He left the club six months before the doping scandal.
