==Biography== He was originally the [[2011 World Championships in Athletics – Men's 50 kilometres walk|2011 World Champion]] in the [[50 kilometres race walk]] before losing his medal for doping infringements. He originally finished in 6th place in the same race in the [[Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's 50 kilometres walk|2012 Olympics]] before that result, too, was expunged. He was advanced to 5th place when teammate [[Igor Yerokhin]] was disqualified and banned for life following a second finding of irregularities in his [[biological passport]], an indicator of [[performance-enhancing drugs]].
===Disqualification=== Bakulin began serving a previously unannounced suspension for irregularities in his [[biological passport]] beginning in December 2012.<ref name=yahooap>{{cite news|url=https://uk.news.yahoo.com/another-russian-race-walker-under-scrutiny-183033755.html#NV5nFx6|title=Another Russian race-walker under scrutiny|publisher=[[Yahoo!
