French heptathlete Auriana Lazraq-Khlass has been suspended for 22 months after the Athletics Integrity Unit found she committed three whereabouts breaches between February and November 2025. The 2024 European silver medallist did not contest her first two breaches, which involved failing to update her whereabouts in the app anti-doping authorities use to track athletes. She contested the third, saying an update for the following day was applied retrospectively to the same day. The tribunal said she did not appear to be trying to evade testing but showed carelessness and negligence. The suspension, slightly below the two-year maximum, runs from 26 March 2026, when she had been provisionally suspended since March, and wipes out her results from 20 November 2025 onwards. She will be out of action until January 2028, six months before the Los Angeles Olympics.
