Mykhaylo Mykhaylovich Kononenko (Ukrainian:Михайло Михайлович Кононенко; born 30 October 1987) is aUkrainian former professional road cyclist, who competed as a professional from 2010 to April 2023.
Kononenko turned professional in 2010, and is a two-time national champion in both theroad race andtime trial. Between 2011 and 2022, he took at least one victory each year in a UCI race. His most notable win was the overall title of the2014 Tour of Qinghai Lake, which he was awarded later on after initial winnerIlya Davidenok's results were stripped for a doping violation.[3] In August 2017, he won theOdessa Grand Prix, while four other members of his team rounded ut the rest of the top five.[4]
He competed in thetime trial at the2022 UCI Road World Championships, where he placed 34th. However, he was later disqualified after testing positive fortramadol, which is a substance banned in competeitions by the UCI. However, he did not receive any suspension, as it was a first offense and the drug does not fall under the anti-doping guidelines as it is only banned under the UCI's medical rules.[5]
