doping
The Italian Jamel Chatbi , who also competed for Morocco at times , was first in eleventh place. He was also at the start over 3000 meters obstacle and had initially finished fifth there. Chatbi tested positive for the banned drug Clenbuterol during a training check during the 2016 Olympic Games after he had originally qualified for the final over the 3000 meter obstacle . For Chatbi it was already his second positive result for the banned substance after 2009. The new findings initially led to a ban for two years and eight months until April 2019. However, because of the second offense, the Italian anti-doping agency NADO italia extended the period of this ban in 2017. The athlete was banned from starting for another five years and four months until August 2024.
execution
With a field of only nineteen runners, a preliminary round was waived and all athletes went to a joint final.
