Dehiba (centre right) competing at the 2010 European Championships
Hind Dehiba (born 17 March 1979) is a Moroccan-French runner who specializes in the 1500 metres.
Her first podium finish at the 2005 European Athletics Indoor Championships came with controversy. She took the bronze medal but impeded fourth-placed Helen Clitheroe in the final stages of the 1500 m. However, Clitheroe's appeal was not successful and Dehiba came away with her first European medal.[1]
In January 2007 Dehiba was arrested on Charles de Gaulle International Airport together with her coach and husband Fodil after vials containing human growth hormone were found in her luggage. Both were released, but Fodil Dehiba will be investigated for illegal drug trafficking.[2] In 2006 Dehiba was found guilty of EPO doping, and received an IAAF suspension from February 2007 to February 2009.[3]
