Hanna Solovey (Ukrainian: Ганна Соловей; born 31 January 1992) is a Ukrainian road and track racing cyclist,[3] who currently rides for Ukrainian amateur team Lviv Cycling Team.
Born in Luhansk, Solovey was banned in 2011 for 2 years after testing positive for performance-enhancing drug, Drostanolone.[4]
On December 24, 2014, Solovey signed for Astana–Acca Due O.[5]
In June 2015, Astana–Acca Due O fired Solovey citing "unprofessional behaviour". This was disputed, with the Ukrainian Cycling Federation, claiming she was fired for refusing to take up Kazakhstani citizenship ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympics. Alexander Vinokourov, the Astana manager, rejected the claim.[6] Solovey did not qualify for the 2016 Olympics.
In June 2015, she competed in the inaugural European Games, for Ukraine in cycling. She earned a silver medal in the women's time trial.
