Spain’s Yassine Ouhdadi El Ataby has been banned for three years and had his Paris gold medal stripped from him because he failed a performance-enhancing drug test. Ouhdadi won the T13 5000m final, in which Australia’s Jaryd Clifford and his guide runner, Matt Clarke, initially crossed the finish line in third place, before they were disqualified, because they were not both holding the tether, a small piece of rope, as they crossed the finish line.
