World Champ sprinter Salwa Eid Naser will have a two-day appeal hearing one month from now that could provoke a limitation from the Tokyo Olympics for disturbing anti-doping rules.
Naser denies all allegations on her for doping case
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said it will hear the case including the 400-meter runner over two days on April 22-23. The World Anti-Doping Agency and World Athletics both archived appeals at CAS to challenge an independent tribunal ruling a year prior that cleared Naser on a technicality for doping tests she missed. A verdict could be announced fundamentally with the Diamond League track series set to start in May. The principle women’s 400 race is on May 23 in Rabat, Morocco. The women’s 400 event at the Tokyo Olympics is arranged from Aug. 3-6.
Naser ran the speediest women’s 400 since 1985 to win the world title 18 months back in Doha, Qatar, while she was being investigated. The 22-year-old Bahraini was allowed to keep the title paying little mind to being charged by the Athletics Integrity Unit with “whereabouts” dissatisfactions ? missed tests and misguided updates on a database separating where athletes can be found each day by sample collection officials. Athletes can be banned for quite a while in case they have three dissatisfactions inside one year.
Naser denied terrible conduct a year prior when the investigation was uncovered and said missed tests could happen to any contender. Naser was found by a tribunal in London to have three whereabouts dissatisfactions from March 2019-January 2020, yet they truth be told viewed as spreading more than one year according to anti-doping rules. The ruling moreover swung on a fourth possible violation for a sample that couldn’t be taken in April 2019 when officials went to her skyscraper in Riffa, Bahrain.
