Dominguez stripped of 2009 steeplechase title

MARTA Dominguez has been stripped of her 2009 steeplechase world title and banned for three years due to anomalies in her biological passport that pointed to doping, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Thursday.

CAS was asked to rule in the case after the Spanish athletics federation, or RFEA, of which Dominguez is a former vice president, absolved the athlete of any wrongdoing in February 2014. She had been provisionally suspended by the International Association of Athletics Federations and banned for four years in July 2013 after anomalies were detected in her biological passport that suggested she had used a prohibited substance or method. The IAAF appealed the RFEA’s decision and the World Anti-Doping Agency filed its own appeal.
