Comment on the European record :
At the 2008 Olympic Games , Elvan Abeylegesse , who was decorated here with two gold medals at the European Championships, first set a new European record with 29: 56.34 minutes. However, her result was subsequently canceled due to doping abuse.

doping

As in all other medium and long distances , this competition also resulted in doping-related disqualifications, here by runners from Turkey and Russia in three cases:

• The Russian Inga Abitowa , originally second, was convicted of taking the banned substance Turinabol . Your result from the European Championships in 2010 was canceled.
• Meryem Erdoğan , who initially came fifth , was banned for two years in 2012 due to deviations in her blood passport. Among other things, her results from the 2010 European Championships over 5000 and 10,000 meters were canceled.
• The Russian Lilija Schobuchowa had given up the race. She was banned for doping abuse at the end of April 2014, among other things her EM results from 2010 were canceled. This was preceded by revelations about payments totaling a total of half a million US dollars for bribes, starting permits and similar things, in which the former IAAF President Lamine Diack was also involved.

execution

With a field of eighteen runners, a preliminary round was waived, all athletes went to a joint final.

Thirteen of the eighteen athletes who started crossed the finish line. The Ethiopian-born Turkish Elvan Abeylegesse took the lead on the fourth kilometer and never gave it up until the end. Jéssica Augusto was in second place for a long time. She was overtaken by the Russian defending champion Inga Abitowa in the final phase , but she was doped and disqualified - see above . That's why Augusto received the silver medal in retrospect. Three days later, she won a second medal in third place over 5000 meters . With Hilda Kibet, who started for the Netherlands, another East African-born runner followed in fourth place ahead of the German Sabrina Mockenhaupt.
