Laura Muir has been awarded a retrospective European Indoor bronze after Russian Yelena Korobkina was found guilty of doping offences.

Scottish athlete Muir, an Olympic 1500m silver medallist, finished fourth in the 3,000m at the 2015 event in Prague.

Belarusian Sviatlana Kudzelich has had her silver upgraded to gold with Dutch runner Maureen Koster taking silver.

A reallocated medal ceremony will be arranged and Muir, 30, said the news brings “mixed emotions”.

She told Scottish Athletics: “Predominantly I feel very fortunate and grateful to receive the bronze medal, particularly when still competing at an elite level, as I am aware many athletes are not afforded that opportunity.

“Had I received the medal on the day of the race, it would have been my first senior international medal at an age of 21.

“Missing out on that special moment, especially as I was not on the podium on the night, was very difficult. But looking back it made me more determined than ever to ensure the same outcome didn’t happen for future championships, which luckily has been the case.”

Muir has two European Indoor 3,000m golds from the 2017 and 2019 championships and is also a two-time 1500m European champion and a Commonwealth champion over that distance.

With her retrospective bronze, she has 14 major podium finishes.

“I am very excited to see that particular European Indoors 2015 medal and it will have a proud place alongside my other sporting accomplishments,” Muir added.

Korobkina, 33, has been banned for four years from September 2023 and her results from July 2013 to July 2016 will be expunged.
