MONACO (AP) — Two-time Olympic triple jumper Ana José Tima was banned for three years in a doping case, track and field’s Athletics Integrity Unit said Wednesday.
José Tima also was disqualified from all results since January 2022 including her 10th place at the world championships held last year in Eugene, Oregon.
The 33-year-old Dominican Republic athlete is suspended until January 2025. She earned a one-year reduction from a potential four-year ban for admitting her doping, the AIU said.
Three people kneeled on the track about eight meters (yards) from the line holding two banners that spanned from lanes one to six, forcing runners to break through them. No athlete appeared to be hurt.
Reigning Formula One champion Max Verstappen continued his dominant form by winning the sprint at the Austrian Grand Prix to extend his championship lead over Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez to 70 points.
Berihu Aregawi ran the fifth-fastest men’s 5,000 meters in track history to beat Olympic champion Joshua Cheptegei at the Athletissima meeting.
IOC president Thomas Bach has been quizzed by a Ukrainian Olympic athlete at his headquarters about needing to keep Russians out of the 2024 Paris Games.
José Tima tested positive in her home country last November for ostarine, which aids muscle growth and has similar effects to anabolic steroids, and the substance GW501516, which failed medical trials more than a decade ago.
At the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Tokyo Olympics held in 2021 she did not advance from qualifying into the triple jump final.
