Salwa Eid Naser, world 400m champion, provisionally banned
Salwa Eid Naser, the world 400m champion of Bahrain, was provisionally suspended for whereabouts failures, a violation of anti-doping rules.
The Athletics Integrity Unit, which handles doping cases for track and field, did not announce further details about Naser’s sanction.
Under the World Anti-Doping Code, whereabouts failures are defined as “any combination of three missed tests and/or filing failures, as defined in the International Standard for Testing and Investigations, within a twelve-month period by an Athlete in a Registered Testing Pool.”
