Ángel Mullera

At the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin, the 2010 European Athletics Championships in Barcelona and the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, he was eliminated over 3000 m obstacles in the preliminary run.
In July 2012, the Spanish Athletics Federation banned him from the Olympic team for "technical reasons" after a newspaper published emails that he allegedly exchanged with a doping specialist about the use of prohibited substances. Mullera filed a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice for Sports (CAS) to withdraw this decision. At the Olympic Games in London he did not get past the first round.
In 2013 he finished eleventh at the World Cup in Moscow . At the 2014 European Championships in Zurich, he crossed the finish line in fourth place and moved up to bronze after the first-placed Mahiedine Mekhissi was disqualified at the instigation of his team for taking off his T-shirt on the home straight. In 2015 Mullera was banned for two years for violating anti- doping regulations .
In 2010, 2012 and 2013 he was Spanish champion over 3000 m obstacle. He set his personal best of 8: 13.71 minutes on September 7, 2012 in Brussels .
