Anastasiia Voinova, a Russian cyclist, has been embroiled in controversy following her contract with the national security club "Dynamo," linked to Russia's military during the intense war against Ukraine. This connection has sparked widespread condemnation, with calls for Voinova to be excluded from international competitions as a consequence of her involvement with the defense structures amid the ongoing conflict.

The cycling community and international sports bodies have expressed strong disapproval of Voinova's affiliation with the military-related organization, emphasizing the need for athletes to remain distanced from the war. The situation has ignited a debate about the ethical implications of athletes' associations with entities involved in war activities.
