Ukrainian jumper Bekh-Romanchuk suspended for doping
PARIS: Ukraine's Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk, a world championships silver medallist in the long jump and triple jump, has been provisionally suspended for doping, the Athletics Integrity Unit said on Thursday. Bekh-Romanchuk, 29, tested positive for testosterone, the AIU said, without giving the date of the test. She will be barred from competing while her case is investigated. Bekh-Romanchuk won world silver in the long jump at the 2019 world championships and had to settle for silver in the triple jump in 2023 when she lost to Venezuela's Yulimar Rojas in the final round. She finished 11th in the triple jump final at last year's Paris Olympics. - AFP

Ukrainian jumper Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk suspended in testosterone doping case
One of Ukraine's best-known athletes, Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk, a two-time silver medallist 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. Bekh-Romanchuk's name wasn't on the entry list as of Thursday. Bekh-Romanchuk won the long jump silver medal at the 2019 world championships and the triple jump silver medal in 2023. She was also European triple jump champion in 2022. Also on Thursday, the AIU said Nehemiah Kipyegon was banned for three years after admitting a doping charge involving the banned substance trimetazidine. Kipyegon won the Munich Marathon in October in his first ever race over the distance and becomes the latest Kenyan road runner to face doping bans. The ruling in the case said Kipyegon tested positive at a competition in Nigeria in February and he argued he used the substance 'without knowing'.
