PARIS, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Bahrain's women's 400-meter world champion Salwa Eid Naser was charged with whereabouts violations by the Athletics Integrity Unit on Friday and has been provisionally suspended.

The 22-year-old Naser, who stormed to a 48.14 seconds victory to set the 400m Asian record at the 2019 World Championships in Doha, could face a two-year ban which would rule her out of the Tokyo Olympic Games that have been postponed to the summer of 2021.
