<p>MONACO (AP) — Ukrainian track-and-field star Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk was banned for four years after testing positive for testosterone, the Athletics Integrity Unit said Tuesday.</p>

<p>The 30-year-old Bekh-Romanchuk's ban expires in May 2029 — after two more world championships and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics — and could end her career as a top-level long jumper and triple jumper.</p>

<p>Bekh-Romanchuk won long jump silver at the 2019 worlds and triple jump silver in 2023. She was also European triple jump champion in 2022.</p>

<p>At the Paris Olympics last August, she placed 11th in the triple jump final and took an extended break from the sport.</p>

<p>She tested positive in samples given in December while training in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine, the AIU said in a written judgment. The case was announced in May, when she was due to compete again at a Diamond League meeting in Qatar.</p>

<p>The AIU document said Bekh-Romanchuk did not prove her claim that the level of testosterone was caused by an unspecified medical condition and treatment.</p>
