The photo above shows the last bend with 200m to go in the women's
5000m final at the 2006 European Championships in Gothenburg. Liliya is
leading the way with Turkey's Elvan Abeylegesse (1723) and Spain's Marta
Dominguez just behind. Shobukhova went on to win the silver medal in a
seasons best time of 14:56.57, with Dominguez winning gold in a new
championship record time of 14: 56.18, and Abeylegesse bronze.

Russia’s Liliya Shobukhova was stripped of her London and Chicago marathon titles
after the IAAF said that all her results since 2009 had been annulled and her
two-year doping ban extended by 14 months.
Shobukhova "won" the 2010 London marathon
and was second in 2011. She "won" the Chicago Marathon three times straight from 2009 to 2011
