On 29 August 2013, Yanit was banned from athletic competition for two years following a failed doping test in February 2013.[2][3] After IAAF appealed the length of the ban to the Court of Arbitration for sport, her ban was extended for a further year.[4]

Yanıt won the 100 m hurdles at the 2007 European Under 23 Athletics Championships. She won the silver medal at the 2007 Summer Universiade in Bangkok, Thailand.[5]

Doping ban

[edit]

In 2013 the Turkish Athletics Federation announced that Yanit had failed a doping test, after traces of testosterone and the anabolic steroid Stanozolol were found in a testing sample. On 29 August 2013, a two-year ban was handed down by the Turkish Federation, precluding Yanit from competition until 5 August 2015. Following IAAF's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for sport, her ban was extended to 3 years for aggravating circumstances. In addition to the positive for two prohibited substances her biological passport data showed that she had been blood doping between June 2012 and February 2013.[4]

The IAAF later confirmed that her results since 28 June 2012 had all been voided and she was stripped of her European Championship title and 5th-place finish at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[6]
