'''Andrey Kashechkin''' ({{lang-kz|'''Андрей Кашечкин'''}}, born March 21, 1980) is a [[Kazakhstan]]i [[road racing cyclist]], who last rode for the [[UCI ProTour]] team {{ct|AST|2013}}.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/astana-plans-to-cause-problems-for-sky-in-2014|first=Alasdair|last=Fotheringham|authorlink=Alasdair Fotheringham|work=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|publisher=[[Future plc]]|date=5 November 2013|accessdate=1 January 2014|title=Astana plans to cause problems for Sky in 2014|quote=One rider who will not be part of the Astana roster - according to Martinelli - is Andrey Kashechkin.}}</ref>

==Biography==
Kashechkin was born in [[Kyzyl-Orda]], in the former [[Kazakh SSR|Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic]].

After the junior World Championships at [[Valkenburg aan de Geul|Valkenburg]], Kashechkin moved to [[Belgium]], where he turned pro in 2001 with the [[Domo-Farm Frites]] team. In 2003, he moved to {{ct|QST|2003}}, and the following year to French squad {{ct|C.A|2004}}.

After two seasons in that team, Kashechkin joined {{ct|ONC|2006a}}, where he posted good results throughout the 2006 season.

Kashechkin was in 8th place in the overall classification after 15 stages of the [[2007 Tour de France]]. However, his Tour was ended when his {{ct|AST|2007}} team withdrew from the event after team leader [[Alexander Vinokourov]] tested positive for blood doping.

==Doping==
In August 2007, Kashechkin tested positive for blood doping after [[2007 Tour de France]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Thomas|first=Steve|title=Kashechkin tests positive for blood doping|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/kashechkin-tests-positive-for-blood-doping|publisher=Cyclingnews.com|accessdate=24 July 2013|date=August 9, 2007}}</ref> He was fired from Astana on August 31 after his B-sample also tested positive.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kashechkin is fired by Astana team|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2007/SPORT/08/31/cycling.astana/index.html|publisher=CNN.com|accessdate=24 July 2013|date=31 August 2007}}</ref>

Kashechkin intended to return to pro cycling in the middle of 2009, but was unable to find a team. In June 2010, it was reported that Kashechkin was in negotiations with {{ct|LAM|2010}},<ref>http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/06/news/lampre-confirms-talks-with-kashechkin_121523</ref> and he later signed with them.<ref>http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/kashechkin-signs-with-lampre-farnese-vini</ref> In the middle of the 2011 season, however, Lampre released him and he re-signed with Astana in order to ride the [[Vuelta a España]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Kashechkin return to Astana in Vuelta pending|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/kashechkin-return-to-astana-in-vuelta-pending|publisher=Cyclingnews.com|accessdate=24 July 2013|date=6 August 2011}}</ref> He had some trouble again at Astana in 2012 and was sidelined after refusing to sign an ethical agreement, although eventually the team reinstated him once he complied.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kashechkin reinstated at Astana|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/kashechkin-reinstated-at-astana|publisher=cyclingnews.com|accessdate=24 July 2013|date=31 December 2012}}</ref> Later, in the 2012 USADA Report into doping on the [[US Postal cycling team|US Postal]] team, affidavits revealed he and others went to training camps set up by Dr. Michelle Ferrari.
