French Heptathlete Suspended 22 Months Over Whereabouts Rules
Auriana Lazraq-Khlass has received a 22-month ban for anti-doping rule violations after accumulating three whereabouts failures.
French heptathlete Auriana Lazraq-Khlass has been suspended for 22 months by the Athletics Integrity Unit due to three whereabouts failures between February and November 2025. The World Anti-Doping Code prohibits athletes from missing three anti-doping tests or filing failures within a 12-month period. While the tribunal noted she did not attempt to evade testing, she displayed carelessness and negligence regarding her tracking app updates. Her suspension will keep her out of action until January 2028, and her results going back to November 2025 will be annulled.
