Read our privacy policy A runner from Ethiopia who reached the 3,000-metre steeplechase final at the Tokyo Olympics has been banned for five years after testing positive for two banned substances. Zerfe Wondemagegn, who narrowly missed out on a podium finish at last year’s World Championships, admitted breaking anti-doping rules after samples she gave flagged up traces of testosterone and another substance, EPO, which can help athletes’ blood transport more oxygen, the Athletics Integrity Unit said in a ruling published on Monday. The AIU ruling said it received e-mailed testimony from a doctor saying Wondemagegn had been given EPO as medicine to treat severe anemia and a kidney infection but that it “remained satisfied” she had broken anti-doping rules. The 2022 world champion in women’s steeplechase, Norah Jeruto, is facing a doping hearing in June, five weeks before the Paris Olympics.
