Nazar Lenyshyn has been banned from the WCA.

[GAN 356 X]

Idiots forever!


Quote me on that.

Haha. But you gotta be smart to act truly stupid

How did his parents help him cheat? Sorry if I'm being oblivious and missing something entirely

There were reports that his parents had intentionally disconnected displays so that it couldn't be easily detected when he stopped the timer early.

Weren't they also the ones who would walk in front of cameras to keep his stops from being filmed?

I didn't see that, but it doesn't surprise me.

Out of curiosity, (and if anyone knows this), but how did this not get noticed by the delegate or organizers? I think that either the delegate or organizer should be keeping a look out for odd behavior, or even something as simple as making sure all the displays are plugged in and displaying correctly.

Where is the investigation doc?

Where is the investigation doc?

I don't think the WCA has released the official investigation document to the public yet (someone correct me if I am wrong), and the only place that this was talked about (regarding the investigation) is here: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/posts/wdc-monthly-digest-july-2019

Sorry about the bump, but I just wanted to say that the ban was not permanent, and this guy is actually competing again now.

What's ironic is that he's almost as fast as his fake times.

5 years sounds reasonable

5 years sounds reasonable

Holy heck how has it been 5 years

 

[Justincubes]

Idiots forever!

I quoted you, just 5 years later

Almost is the keyword here, he still hasn't surpassed the times he was faking five years ago…

Not really, he claimed a 6.20 average five years ago, and his PR is still 7.6, so not really close at all

I think a five-year ban is too long. I think 6 - 12 months would be more reasonable, Compared to other sports...

What about Kalindu? This is a similar situation, and Kalindu got an 8-year ban. I think that a 5-year ban was a good time frame, but I’m glad that Nazar is back and not framing his times.

 

[1973486]

Other people who stopped the timer early but claimed less significant times got bans in the order of months. 5 years was probably too long. WDC (or WIC now) seem to keep inflating their ban lengths. Kalindu's 8 years was unprecedented, because he blatantly abused his delegate position and now 5 year bans have become too common.

 

[Tabe]

now 5 year bans have become too common.

Can you name any others besides Kalindu and Nazar?

This Turkish delegate or something?

Ok, 3 in 5+ years?

Nazar's last competition before the ban was around June 2019. He started competing again around April 2023. So not a 5 year ban. I'm also glad he is back.
