Timeline

1976

Abderrahim Goumri (عبد الرحيم الغومري; 21 May 1976 – 19 January 2013 in Temara, Morocco) was a Moroccan long-distance runner.

He had competed in cross country, track, road running and marathon races.

1995

Initially running for the prestigious Olympique de Safi club, Goumri's first international appearance for Morocco came as a junior at the 1995 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, where he came 25th and shared in the bronze junior team medal.

Early on in his career, he was based in Norway.

1997

He ran at the Tromsø Midnight Sun Marathon 1997 and won in a time of 2:30:54 hours.

Goumri had a very successful return to the marathon (his first since 1997) at the 2007 London Marathon, finishing second in 2:07:44, just three seconds behind Martin Lel.

1999

In 1999, he won the Norwegian championships in both 1500 metres and 5000 metres.

Like his fellow countryman Khalid Skah, who won the Norwegian 5000 m championships in 1997, 1998 and 2000, Goumri represented the athletics club IL i BUL.

2000

He took consecutive wins at the Eurocross meeting in Luxembourg, having taken the title in 2000 and 2001.

2001

He focused on track running in 2001: he was part of a Moroccan sweep of the medals in the 5000 m at the Jeux de la Francophonie (taking silver)., later running in the 10,000 metres final at the 2001 World Championships in Athletics.

He closed his track season with a tenth-place finish in the 3000 metres at the 2001 IAAF Grand Prix Final.

He proved himself as a versatile performer over the following seasons, competing on various surfaces and distances.

2002

He spent the early part of his career in Norway and established himself with performances at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, where he helped his nation to team bronze medals at the 2002 and 2003 editions.

He reached the 5000 metres track finals at the 2003 World Championships and the 2004 Summer Olympics.

He was seventh in the long race at the 2002 IAAF World Cross Country Championships (helping Morocco to the team bronze) and narrowly missed out on a 10,000 m medal with a fourth-place finish at the 2002 African Championships in Athletics.

2003

His tenth and fifteenth position finishes in the short and long race of the 2003 IAAF World Cross Country Championships brought two further team bronze medals for Morocco.

He also performed well on the track, coming ninth over 3000 metres at the 2003 IAAF World Indoor Championships and then tenth outdoors in the 5000 m at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics.

That October he came twelfth at the 2003 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships, aiding his country to fourth in the team rankings.

2004

Goumri improved one place to 14th in the long race at the 2004 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, but the Moroccans were edged into fourth by the Eritrean team.

Track became his focus that year and he made his Olympic debut in August, reaching the 5000 m final at the 2004 Athens Olympics and ending the race in 13th place.

He was ninth at the 2004 IAAF World Athletics Final, but gained a medal on the regional stage as he took the silver behind Khoudir Aggoune at the Pan Arab Games.

2005

In 2005 he ran a career best of 12:50.25 minutes for the distance to take eleventh place on the all-time lists.

Eighteenth in the short race at the 2005 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, he and his teammates Adil Kaouch, Mohamed Moustaoui and Hicham Bellani were again the fourth best (beaten this time by Qatar).

He set a personal best for the 10,000 m in May, running a time of 27:02.62 minutes, and came eighth in the event final at that year's World Championships.

He scored another track career best at the Memorial van Damme in August with a time of 12:50.25 minutes for the 5000 m – a mark which ranked him eleventh on the all-time lists behind Hicham El Guerrouj.

However, this form did not translate to the 3000 m, which he ran at the 2005 IAAF World Athletics Final and managed only tenth overall.

The 2005 Jeux de la Francophonie was his year-ending competition and he opted for the 10,000 m, securing a silver behind the Rwandan Dieudonné Disi.

2006

In 2006 he had his last year running on the track, but managed a career best indoors over the 5000 m (13:29.55) in Stockholm that February.

He continued having success at the 2006 IAAF World Cross Country Championships as he was eleventh in the long race, completing the race as the first non-East African finisher.

He began to make a transition to road running and at the end of the year he claimed a victory at the BOclassic 10 km.

2007

From 2007 onwards he focused on marathon running and was runner-up at both the London and New York races that year.

Despite the fact that Goumri was 21st at the 2007 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, a strong overall team performance (including Anis Selmouni and Ahmed Baday) brought him his first team silver medal at the event.

He competed in his new speciality at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics, but did not manage to finish the race.

2008

He set a Moroccan record of 2:05:30 hours for third at the 2008 London Marathon, becoming the sixth fastest marathoner at that point.

He was the runner-up at the 2008 New York Marathon and the 2009 Chicago Marathon.

In spite of good performances at major races on the circuit, he has not performed well in the event at championships—finishing twentieth at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and failing to finish at the World Championships in 2007, 2009 and 2011.

2012

On 7 June 2012, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) announced that Goumri was provisionally suspended on the basis of abnormal blood values in his "biological passport."

The French newspaper L'Équipe reported that the IAAF was recommending a suspension of two to four years for the doping offense.

He received a four-year suspension.
