CAIRO: A Moroccan runner has been suspended from the upcoming London Olympics after testing positive for doping. The IAAF suspended Mariem Alaoui Selsouli after she reportedly tested positive for the diuretic furosemide during the Paris Diamond League meeting on July 6. The Moroccan woman had been an Olympic medal favorite after earning a 3 minutes 56.15 seconds in the 1,500 meters, some four seconds below her personal best, at the Paris competition. “Selsouli has waived her right to the B (backup sample) analysis, and as a result has now been provisionally suspended from all competition in athletics,” the IAAF said in a statement. She “still has the right to request a hearing which needs to be held by the Moroccan Athletic Federation within the next three months. Until such time, the IAAF will make no further comment on this case,” the governing body said. The 28-year-old runner faces a lifetime ban if the second doping offense of her career is proven. Selsouli finished serving a two-year ban last August for using EPO before the 2009 world championships.
