from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Olga Yegorova ( Russian Ольга Николаевна Егорова ., English transcription Olga Yegorova ; * 28. March 1972 in Novocheboksarsk ) is a Russian medium-range and long-distance runner .

At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney , she was eighth in the 5000-meter run .

In March 2001 she won gold in the 3000 meter run at the World Indoor Championships in Lisbon .

In a doping test that she was subjected to after the Golden League meeting in Paris in July 2001 , the doping agent erythropoietin (Epo) was found in the A sample. An initially imposed two-year ban was suspended because the test was not scored for formal reasons.

With the stigma of doping suspicion, Yegorova entered the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton a month later and won the 5000 meter title there - amid numerous boos and previous protests from her competitors.

On August 31, 2001, she set a world record over the same distance in Berlin with 14: 29.32 minutes.

At the 2003 World Championships in Paris / Saint-Denis , she was tenth over 5000 meters. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens , she finished eleventh in the 1,500-meter run , and at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki , she took silver over the same distance.

One week before the start of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing , she was temporarily banned by the IAAF for violating anti- doping guidelines . On the basis of DNA analyzes, she and six other Russian athletes are accused of having fraudulently given urine to other people during doping tests . She was later banned until April 2011.
