Moroccan track star Mariem Alaoui Selsouli entered London2012 as the Olympic favorite to win the Women’s 1500m event. Today, she is stamped a ‘cheat’ having failed a drug test, positive for a banned diuretic known as furosemide. I actually remember watching Selsouli wow the crowd in Eugene at Track Town USA with a personal best 8min 34.37sec in the 3,000m back in June. Golden hopes squandered.
