Bekh-Romanchuk given four-year ban after testing positive for testosterone, AIU says

The Athletics Integrity Unit has suspended Ukrainian athlete Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk for four years after she tested positive for testosterone in an out-of-competition urine sample collected in December 2024, the AIU said on Tuesday.

Bekh-Romanchuk, who has won silver in long jump and triple jump in the world championships, denied taking testosterone but could not explain the presence of metabolites of testosterone in the sample, the AIU said in a statement.
