Star - Elana free to run - for now (454 words)
Elana Meyer yesterday had her suspension lifted by Athletics South Africa, although the governing body has still to decide whether the world half-marathon record holder is guilty of a doping offence or not.
Meyer was summoned to appear before an ASA disciplinary tribunal into her alleged doping offence in Johannesburg yesterday, but the hearing was postponed until August 14 when finality could not be reached.
Meyer has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has requested various further tests be done by Dr Ryan Kohler, a recognised doping expert at the University of Stellenbosch, as well as further information from the IAAF and the testing laboratory in Malaysia.
