Russian cyclist Iana Burlakova (Tyshchenko) has come under scrutiny and condemnation for her contract with the national security club "Dynamo", connected to Russia's military in the ongoing war against Ukraine. Burlakova's association with a club linked to the defense structures during the intense conflict has sparked outrage, leading to calls for her disqualification from international competitions.

The cycling community and international sports authorities have voiced strong disapproval of Burlakova's connection to the military activities in Ukraine, with demands for her to be barred from participating in international sporting events. The situation has raised concerns about the intersection of sports and politics in Russia.
