Anna Vasilyevna Shukina (Russian: Анна Васильевна Щукина, romanized: Anna Vasil'yevna Shchukina;[1] also transliterated as Shchukina[2] or Schukina;[3] born 5 November 1987) is a Russian retired ice hockey defenceman and former member of the Russian national ice hockey team.
In December 2017, Shukina was banned for life by the Oswald Commission of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for doping violations made while participating in the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2014 Winter Olympics.[4][2] She filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and, in 2018, won the appeal and the sanctions against her were annulled.[5]
Shukina has twice been on Russian Championship winning teams, Tornado Dmitrov in 2015 and Agidel Ufa in 2017. She has also received individual Zhenskaya Hockey League (ZhHL) awards for Most Goals by a Defenceman in the 2015–16 season, while playing with Dynamo Saint Petersburg, and in the 2016–17 season, while playing with Agidel Ufa, and Most Points by a Defenceman in the 2015–16 season.
