Mo Katir Faces Provisional Suspension for Doping Test Violations

The Spanish runner, a world champion, disputes the allegations, claiming administrative issues led to his suspension.

Mo Katir, a world champion in long-distance running, has been provisionally suspended for failing to be available for out-of-competition drug testing.
Katir denies any wrongdoing, attributing his suspension to administrative issues and plans to appeal.
The suspension comes as a significant blow ahead of the Paris Olympics 2024, where Katir was a hopeful for Spain.
Katir holds the world record in the indoor 3,000 meters and the European record in the outdoor 5,000 meters.
The Athletics Integrity Unit cites three 'whereabouts' failures in the past year as the reason for Katir's suspension.
