Moscow - The result of a B-sample from Russia's world record hammer thrower Tatiana Lysenko is expected on August 14, the Germany athletics federation (DLV) reported on its website Monday.
Lysenko, 23, tested positive for a women's hormone blocker on May 9 but the substance was not on the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) banned drugs list.
The expected result comes two days before the Russian athletics federation is due to submit its registration list for the upcoming World Athletics Championships in Osaka, Japan, which runs from August 25 to September 2.
Lysenko set the world record of 78.61 metres on May 26 in Sochi, Russia.
