doping
Two doping cases occurred in this competition.
- The Spaniard José Luis Blanco , initially third, tested positive for EPO at the Spanish Championships in July 2010 . His EM result was annulled and he was banned until October 26, 2012.
- The Russian Ildar Minschin , initially sixth, was subsequently proven to have taken banned substances in August 2009. He was banned for two years and his EM result was revoked.
The main victims were three athletes:
- The Moldovan Ivan Lukyanov could not take part in the award ceremony and received his bronze medal late.
- The Swede Mustafa Mohamed would have qualified for the final with his time, in which he could not take part due to the subsequent disqualification of the doping offenders.
- For the same reason, Hubert Pokrop from Poland was refused entry into the finals.
Preliminary round
The preliminary round was held in two runs. The first four athletes per run - highlighted in light blue - as well as the four fastest runners - highlighted in light green - qualified for the final.
