Taroudant, Morocco- Moroccan athlete Meriem Alaoui Selsouli has been officially suspended for eight years following a positive doping control at a meeting in Paris July 6, 2012, according to the Royal Moroccan Athletics Federation.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed on April 14, 2014 the decision of the Royal Moroccan Athletics Federation to suspend the athlete Mariem Alaoui Selsouli from taking part in any athletic competition for a period of eight years.
The Moroccan athlete, 30, improved the world’s season best record of 1500 m with 3 min 56 seconds 15/100e during the seventh stage of the Diamond League athletics in France, which took place in Paris on July 6, 2012.
The world’s leader in the women’s 1500m is unlikely to take part in the future competitions after six years because of her age.
