Chicago winner gets doping ban
Print Edition
THREE-TIME Chicago Marathon champion Lilya Shobukhova has been banned for two years for blood doping and faces demands to repay millions of dollars in winnings.
The Russian athletics federation said yesterday it banned Shobukhova until next January for abnormal biological passport values and stripped her results from October 9, 2009. Shobukhova won three times in Chicago and once in London in that time, also collecting US$1 million in prize money as a two-time leader of the World Marathon Majors rankings. “Any athlete found guilty of a doping offense will be required to repay any prize or appearance money earned at WMM events including WMM series prize money,” the race organizers’ group said in a statement.
“Lilya Shobukhova finally exposed as a drug cheat,” Paula Radcliffe of Britain tweeted. “Monies won should be returned and rightful winners recognized.”
