Yegor Ilyich Titov (Template:Lang-ru) (born May 29, 1976 in Moscow) is a Russian football midfielder, who currently plays for Spartak Moscow.
Titov played his entire club career at Spartak, starting in 1995, helping them to six consecutive league titles and winning Russian Player of the Year in 1998 and 2000. He played for Russia at the 2002 World Cup and has amassed over 30 caps for his country. What Titov is known most for, however, is testing positive for the banned substance bromantan after a Euro 2004 playoff against Wales. He got a 12-month suspension for taking the drug.[1] However, he has never admitted to taking drugs and blamed his dietologist for not checking his food properly. After the ban, he has continued playing for Spartak and has been a major figure for the club when Spartak managed to finish 2nd in the 2005 season, thus qualifying for the Champions League. He has been successful largely due to his passing ability.
