Alexander Igorevich Dyachenko (Russian: Александр Игоревич Дьяченко; born 24 January 1990) is a banned Russian sprint canoeist.
He won the Men's K-2 200 metres gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics with Yury Postrigay. At the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships he has won one gold medal (K-2 200 m: 2013), three silver medals (K-1 x 200 m: 2011, 2013, K-2 200 m: 2015) and two bronze medals (K-1 4 × 200 m: 2010, K-4 200 m: 2009).
Dyachenko began canoeing at the age of 6.[1]
In June 2022, Dyachenko was one of three Russian canoeists who were given doping bans along with Nikolay Lipkin and Aleksandra Dupik. He was given a four year ban starting on 9 June 2022 and all of his results from 5 June 2014 to 31 December 2016 were disqualified.[2] The ICF officially stripped the medals that Dyachenko won during this period, but he retained his Olympic gold medal.[3]
In June 2023, Dyachenko successfully appealed his disqualification to a Russian court, which overturned his disqualification "on the Russian territory", meaning he can compete and coach in Russia.[4]
