Nevin Yanit is pictures above during her semi final where she established a new Turkish record
of 12.58s - a time she repeated in the final.
Earlier in the year she won the European title in Finland.
Oh no she didn't.

In 2013 the Turkish Athletics Federation announced that Yanit had
failed a doping test, after traces of testosterone and the anabolic
steroid Stanozolol were found in a testing sample. On 29 August 2013, a
two-year ban was handed down by the Turkish Federation, precluding Yanit
from competition until 5 August 2015.
Following IAAF's appeal to the
Court of Arbitration for sport, her ban was extended to 3 years for
aggravating circumstances. In addition to the positive for two
prohibited substances her biological passport data showed that she had
been blood doping between June 2012 and February 2013. The IAAF later
confirmed that her results since June 28, 2012 had all been voided and
she was stripped of her European Championship title and 5th-place finish
at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.
