Athletics Integrity Unit says the Ukrainian long and triple jumper is provisionally suspended

Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk, a multiple global medallist in the long and triple jump in recent years, has been provisionally suspended due to suspected use of the banned drug testosterone.

The 29-year-old has specialised in horizontal jumps, winning the European triple jump title in Munich in 2022 and European indoor gold in the long jump in 2021.

At the World Championships she won long jump silver in Doha in 2019 and triple jump silver in Budapest in 2023. In addition she took triple jump silver at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade in 2022.

The AIU says she is accused of the "Presence/Use of a Prohibited Substance (Testosterone)"

As a teenager she won the long jump at the 2011 European Youth Olympics and bronze medals in the same event at European under-20 and under-23 championships.

At the Tokyo Olympics she was fifth in the long jump and then 11th at the Paris Games last year.

Her best marks include 6.93m for the long jump and 15.03m for triple jump and she is married to international swimmer Mykhailo Romanchuk.
