Martina Caironi (born 13 September 1989) is an Italian Paralympic athlete. She competed at the 2012 Summer Paralympics and 2016 Summer Paralympics. She won a gold medal in the 100 m sprint in 2012 and a silver in the long jump in 2016.[2] She qualified for the 2020 Summer Paralympics.[3][4][5]

Biography[edit]

As a result of a motorcycle accident in 2007, Caironi had to undergo high-femoral amputation on her left leg.[6]

Disqualification[edit]

On 17 October 2019, she was disqualified for having been found positive for a steroid contained in a healing ointment, prescribed by her doctor, to treat a severe inflammation of the amputated leg. However, the Italian national anti-doping court, recognizing the good faith of the athlete, reduced the disqualification by one year, therefore the disqualification expired on 9 March 2020.[7]
