Aleksey Vladimirovich Lovchev (Russian: Алексе́й Влади́мирович Ло́вчев; born 13 June 1989) is a Russian weightlifter.
Career
He competed at the 2013 World Championships in the Men's +105 kg, winning the bronze medal and the European Championships 2014, winning the gold medal in the Snatch, Clean and Jerk and total.
In the 2015 World Championships he competed in the +105kg category, winning gold medals in the Snatch, Clean and Jerk, and Total, with a 211 kg Snatch and 264 kg world record Clean and Jerk for a world record 475 kg total. However, Lovchev failed a doping test and was stripped of the World Championship gold medal and world records.
In May 2016, Lovchev was banned for four years after failing A and B-samples: he tested positive for ipamorelin, a hormone growth drug. He contested this decision at Court of Arbitration for Sport, but his appeal was dismissed.
