doping
Three seasons were disqualified for doping reasons:
- In the Russian relay , Anastassija Kapatschinskaja , who was already named in the result over 200 meters , was doped.
- The result of the Belarusian relay team - the team was in seventh place - was later canceled due to doping abuse.
- In the Turkish team - eliminated in the preliminary round - Pınar Saka was used as the final runner, the result of which was also canceled in the individual race over 400 meters due to a violation of the doping regulations. As a consequence, the result of the Turkish relay was canceled.
Above all, four participating relays were disadvantaged by the doping fraudsters:
- Germany - The German runners only became official European champions a long time after the event was over.
- Italy - The team was unable to attend the awards ceremony and received its bronze medals a long time ago.
- Poland - The relay would have been eligible to start as the third-placed team in the first heat in the final.
- Ireland - As in the 4 × 100 meter , the Irish were denied entry into the finals, which they had fought for over their time.
Preliminary round
The preliminary round was held in two runs. The first three seasons per run - highlighted in light blue - as well as the two fastest teams - highlighted in light green - qualified for the final.

Comment on the result of the Russian relay :
The result of the Russian relay was canceled due to the participation of the doped Anastassija Kapatschinskaja ( see above ). This disqualification is valid for the entire competition, even if, as in this case in the preliminary run, the doped runner was not yet used.
