MONACO (AP) — One of Ukraine's best-known athletes, Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk, a two-time silver medalist at the world track and field championships, has been provisionally suspended in a doping case involving testosterone.
The Athletics Integrity Unit, which manages doping cases in track and field, issued an update on Thursday listing Bekh-Romanchuk as suspended since Wednesday over the suspected presence or use of testosterone.
The announcement came shortly before Friday's Diamond League meet in Doha, Qatar.
Bekh-Romanchuk hasn't competed since August when she placed 11th in the women's triple jump at the Paris Olympics, but Ukrainian media reported she was due to return to competition in Doha.
