doping
There were three doping-related disqualifications in this competition. Two cases were Russian runners and one was an athlete from Ukraine .
- Jelena Arshakova (Russia), first to arrive, was banned for two years in 2013 due to abnormal hemoglobin levels in her biological passport , all of her results from July 12, 2011 were retrospectively canceled.
- Irina Maratschowa (Russia), initially in third place, was banned for two years by the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) in 2016 because of abnormal hemoglobin levels in her biological passport . She had to give up the medal she won at the European Championships in 2012.
- Tetjana Petlyuk (Ukraine), eliminated fifth in the first heat, was banned by the Ukrainian Athletics Federation until January 17, 2015 due to deviations in her biological passport . Among other things, her result at the European Championships in 2012 was canceled.
The main victims were the following five runners:
- Three athletes who received their medals late:
- The British Lynsey Sharp was only later declared European champion after she had initially been considered a silver medalist.
- The Belarusian Maryna Arsamassawa was initially fourth and could not take part in the award ceremony and then received her silver medal.
- The Ukrainian Lilija Lobanowa was also withheld from the award ceremony as the fifth and she later received her bronze medal.
- Two athletes who should actually have participated in the final:
- The Turkish Merve Aydin would have qualified for the final because of her placement as second in the third heat.
- The Greek Eléni Filándra would have been eligible to start in the final over her time.
Preliminary round
The preliminary round was carried out in three runs. The first two athletes per run - highlighted in light blue - as well as the two fastest runners - highlighted in light green - qualified for the final. Among them were two of the three doping sinners.
