El Mahjoub Dazza has been suspended for the next four years by the Athletics Integrity unit for a doping case. The Moroccan marathoner can make an appeal.
The marathon runner El Mahjoub Dazza has been suspended for four years by the Disciplinary Commission of the IAU (Athletics Integrity unit), the anti-doping body of World Athletics (WA).
The 29-year-old Moroccan had a good 2019 season with a victory in Prague in 2h5’58” and in Fukuoka in 2h7’10”.
He had been provisionally suspended on 10 January 2020 for “an unusual passport result”, as L’Equipe explained. He can now appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
“Four successive assessments of his haematological profile were carried out by three experts who unanimously concluded that he had been “subjected to blood manipulation”, particularly on the day before the race in Prague,” explained the French media on Friday 31 July.
