O’Rourke in line for bronze

Derval O’Rourke’s coach Terri Cahill is shocked at the news that European Indoor 60m hurdles champion Nevin Yanit of Turkey has been charged for failing multiple drug tests which could see the Cork woman boosted to the bronze medal as a result.

“I am shocked at the multiple positives,” said Cahill in relation to the IAAF statement on Yanit’s failed tests yesterday which also included Olympic 1,500m champion Asli Cakir Alptekin of Turkey.

“Anyone can unwittingly take a supplement and fail a test. She’s obviously knowingly taken it if it’s multiple failures.
