doping
There was a doping case in this competition:
The doping sample submitted after the World Cup race by Swiss Sandra Gasser , who initially came third , tested positive for testosterone . She had to surrender her medal and was banned for two years.
Primarily two runners were disadvantaged:
- The Romanian Doina Melinte received her bronze medal late and could not take part in the award ceremony.
- The Moroccan Fatima Aouam would have been eligible to start in the final due to the time rule.
