Alminova was the European indoor champion in the 1500 m in 2009,
but lost the title when she was found to have been doping.
Alminova was sanctioned for doping after her biological passport had showed
abnormalities. The ban was for two years and six months and ran from 16 January 2011
to 15 May 2014.
Her results were annulled from 16 February 2009.
