No one seems to be reporting this so here goes. 2009 European indoor 1500 champ Anna Alminova is back from her 3 month pseudoephedrine ban. Her suspension ended on July 8th and she came back today (Thursday, July 15th) and dominated the 1,500 final at the Russian champs. The IAAF is reporting incorrectly that she won in 4:06.18.
The 4:06.18 is her time from the semis. In the final, she absolutely dominated running a 4:00.84 to 2nd place's 4:04.56.
Interestingly enough, she is entered in the Paris Diamond League 1,500 on Friday. Her 3rd 1500 in 3 days. She has to be considered one of the favorites assuming she gets there in time.
