Diribe Welteji in legal battle to race at worlds

Ethiopian middle-distance runner Diribe Welteji faces a last-minute legal fight over an alleged missed doping test that could bar her from the world championships two days before her first race.

The Athletics Integrity Unit, which oversees doping cases, said Thursday that it has filed an appeal against an Ethiopian ruling that cleared Welteji of "refusal or failure to submit to sample collection" under anti-doping rules.
