Competing in three [[Summer Olympics]], he who won two silver medals at [[Sydney]] in [[2000 Summer Olympics\|2000]] (K-1 500 m, K-1 1000 m). Prior to those games, Merkov was subjected to controversy for failing a [[Doping (sport)\|doping]] test in [[Bulgaria]] which led to over a dozen canoeing nations petitioning the [[International Canoe Federation]] for an investigation, only to have Bulgarian officials stonewall on his behalf to compete. He would later refuse to attend the post-race press conference of K-1 1000 m in the wake of those allegations. Merkov was K-1 500 m European champion in 1999.
