MADRID (AP) — World steeplechase champion Marta Dominguez has appeared before a judge to testify as a suspect in the Spanish anti-doping investigation Operation Galgo.

The 35-year-old Dominguez entered the Madrid court on Wednesday without speaking to a group of about 50 journalists.

She was one of 14 individuals detained on Dec. 9 after the Spanish Civil Guard found anabolic steroids, hormones, bags of blood and blood-doping equipment in raids across the country.

Dominguez, who is four months pregnant and not competing, had previously denied any wrongdoing in a statement released to the Spanish news agency Efe.
