2009 European Athletics Indoor Championships – Women's 1500 metres
The Women's 1500 metres event at the 2009 European Athletics Indoor Championships was held on March 6–7.
Doping[edit]
Anna Alminova won the event and was awarded the gold medal, but was disqualified in 2014 after the IAAF in 2014 handed her a doping ban caused by abnormalities in her biological passport profile.[1] All her results from 16 February 2009 onwards were annulled.[2]
Natalia Rodríguez (gold), Sonja Roman (silver) and Roísín McGettigan (bronze) received their medals by mail.
