2012 European Athletics Championships – Women's 1500 metres

The women's 1500 metres at the 2012 European Athletics Championships were held at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium on 30 June and 1 July.

The dirtiest race in history edit

In this race, the first four classified were disqualified for doping, meaning the medals went to the athletes who reached the finish line in 5th to 7th place.[1]

On 25 February 2016, the IAAF announced that Mischenko, the silver medal winner, had been found to have irregularities in her biological passport. She was banned from competition for two years until 17 August 2017, and all her results since June 28, 2012 were deleted from the records, including the silver medal won in this event.[2]

After the disqualifications, Nuria Fernández of Spain was declared the winner of the event.

In this race, both Alptekin and Bulut finished first and second respectively, while the Ukraine's Anna Mischenko, who finished third, and Russia's Ekaterina Ishova, who finished fourth, have both since been disqualified by the IAAF for an ADRV and abnormal ABP results respectively. Should the reports around Bulut's possible infringement prove correct, it would mean that Spain's Nuria Fernández, who originally finished fifth, would be crowned champion.
