Lyubov Denisova

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lyubov Denisova is a Russian marathon runner that tested positive for an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio — the same finding that derailed 2006 Tour de France champion Floyd Landis [1]. As of the 8th May, 2007, the ESMI website claims that she is represented by them and Hussein Makke [2], a list of their current athletes can be found here but include the convicted cheat Asmae Leghzaoui.

In the Honolulu Advertiser [1] it is claimed she is represented by Andrey Baranov.

At the 2006 Honolulu Marathon, Denisova ran 2:27:19, a race record. Sadly failing a drugs test now puts doubt on her right to hold the race record.

On the 15th May, 2007 it was announced that she will be banned for two years. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/05/15/sports/EU-SPT-ATH-Denisova-Doping.php

She sites [3] Gainsville, Florida as her home in the US.
