In December 2020 she was again provisionally suspended as a consequence of anti-doping investigations, missing the 2021 European Weightlifting Championships and the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. On 9 September 2023, the Court of Arbitration for Sport annulled over four years of her results due to drugs offenses, stating, "All the competitive results obtained by Tatiana Kashirina from 1 April 2013 until 19 June 2017 were disqualified, with all the resulting consequences, including the forfeiture of any titles, awards, medals, points and prize and appearance money." As a result, she was stripped of three world titles and three European titles. She was also suspended for a period of eight years, beginning in August 2023.
