Dutch distance runner Khalid Choukoud will not be permitted to run in any competitions sanctioned by the Dutch federation (KNAU), the European Athletics Association or the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) due to a positive doping test for nandrolone in early June.
A formal doping hearing will be held separately to determine Choukoud’s punishment, likely a two-year suspension.
Choukoud placed third in the Dutch 10,000m Championships in 2006 with a 29:21.98 performance. He finished 9th at the 2006 European Cross Country Championships under-23 race last December in San Giorgio su Legnano, Italy, and was the top Dutch finisher in that section. Those results would be allowed to stand as they occurred prior to the June test.
