Julija Nikolajewna Fomenko ( Russian Юлия Николаевна Фоменко , English transcription Yuliya Fomenko , born Чиженко Tschischenko / Chizhenko ; born August 30, 1979 in Arkhangelsk ) is a Russian middle-distance runner .

At the World Championships in Helsinki in 2005 , she failed over 1500 meters in the run. The following year she won the title in 4: 04.70 min at the 2006 World Indoor Championships over the same distance and came second in 3: 57.61 min at the 2006 European Championships .

Doping affair

She finished seventh at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka , and at the 2008 World Indoor Championships in Lisbon she won silver in 3: 59.41 minutes behind her (later also disqualified) compatriot Jelena Sobolewa , who ran in a world record time.

A week before the start of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing , she was temporarily banned by the IAAF for violating the anti- doping guidelines . DNA analysis revealed that she, Sobolewa and five other Russian athletes had fraudulently given urine to other people during doping tests . The manipulated samples were from the spring of 2007. As a result, all results since April 27, 2007 were canceled, which deprived her of her placement at the 2007 World Championships and the medal from the 2008 World Indoor Championships. In 2008 the Russian Federation announced that the beginning of the due two-year ban would be set for April 2007, with which Fomenko could have started at the 2009 World Championships . The IAAF sued the International Court of Justice for sport and was found to be right in July 2009, so that the ban, which is now for two years and nine months, is valid from July 2008 to April 2011.
