Salwa Eid Naser , current 400-meter world champion and provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit, confirmed that the three controls she skipped were prior to the Doha World Cup, where she ran at 48.14, the third world mark of all time , only behind Marita Koch (47.60) and Jarmila Kratochvilova (47.99), both under the shadow of the doping of the 80s.

"I've never been a cheat and I never will be. I've only skipped three checks, which is normal. Sometimes it happens, and it can happen to anyone. I don't want people to be confused by all this because I would never cheat," The 22-year-old athlete explained that last August she won a gold for Bahrain from which she can now be dispossessed.

Her win against Shaunae Miller-Uibo , the reigning Olympic champion, is now in question, and her case further tarnishes the recent track record of athletics in Bahrain. In recent months, Ruth Jebet , the 3,000m hurdles Olympic champion, and Eunice Kirwa , the Olympic marathon champion, have already been suspended for erythropoietin (EPO) use.

"I believe in talent and I know I have it"

"I would never take drugs to increase my performance. I believe in talent and I know I have it," said Naser, convinced that everything will work out, despite the fact that, in her opinion, "it is very hard to have this small stain on my name" .

It should be remembered that athletes must declare each quarter their usual location, their training venues and their competition planning in order to be available for any control out of competition. An infraction of the regulation can be caused by not having filled out the location form within the required time limits or by not having been present at the place where they should be found. Three non-appearances within one year, if not justified during the investigation, are considered a doping offense, leading to suspension as if it were a positive.
