Tesdschan Naimowa (also Tezdzhan Naimova ; Bulgarian Тезджан Наимова ; born May 1, 1987 in Parwomaj ) is a Bulgarian sprinter of Turkish descent.

In 2004 she was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Junior World Championships , as well as the 2006 World Indoor Championships . In August 2006 she won two titles at the Junior World Championships in Beijing: over 100 meters (11.28 seconds) and over 200 meters (22.99 s, a personal best). In 2007 she took part in the European Indoor Championships , where she was fifth over 60 meters, and the World Championships . At the 2008 Summer Olympics , she took part in the 100 meters, but was eliminated in the first round.

Due to a manipulated urine sample during a training check in 2008, Naimowa was banned for two years until September 2010 for violating the doping regulations . The result of the 2008 Olympic Games was canceled.

In March 2013, she won the gold medal in the 60-meter run at the European Indoor Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden . In the subsequent doping test , traces of the anabolic steroid drostanolone were detected, which is why she was stripped of the gold medal in September 2013. In addition, Naimowa was banned for life as it was her second doping violation.
