- Nigeria-born Bahraini athlete provisionally suspended
- Naser ran third-fastest 400m in history last year
Salwa Eid Naser, who ran the third-fastest 400m in history when winning gold at last year’s world championships in Doha, is facing a two-year ban after being provisionally suspended for missing three drug tests in a 12-month period.
The 22-year-old took nearly a second off her personal best in running 48.18 in Doha – the fastest time by a woman since 1985. Only the East German Marita Koch and the Czech athlete Jarmila Kratochvilova have ever run faster.
