Aleksandr Sergeyevich Kornilov (Russian: Александр Сергеевич Корнилов, also transliterated Alexander, born 12 April 1985) is a Russian rower. He won a gold medal in coxed fours at the 2007 European Championships and a silver in eights in 2016.[1] He placed 11th in the double sculls at the 2008 Summer Olympics.[2] In May 2016, he became one of 14 Russian athletes implicated in doping following the retesting of urine from the 2008 Olympics. His sample A failed the retest, but these results were not confirmed on his sample B.[3]
