Janine Whitlock (born 11 August 1973) is a former pole vaulter from England who competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics.[1]
Biography
Whitlock finished second behind Kate Staples in the pole vault event at the 1996 AAA Championships[2] before becoming the British pole vault champion after winning the British AAA Championships titles at the 1997 AAA Championships[3] and the 1997 British Athletics Championships.[4]
After defending her AAA crown in July, she represented England at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in September.[5][6][7][8]
Further AAA titles followed in 1999, 2000[9] and 2001 sandwiched by her selection to represent Great Britain at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.[10]
In 2002 Whitlock was found guilty of methandienone doping. The sample was delivered on 16 June 2002 during the English Commonwealth Games trials. She received a suspension from July 2002 to July 2004 and was stripped of her 2002 AAA title.[11]
Her personal best is 4.47 metres, achieved in July 2005 at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, in the same meet that Yelena Isinbayeva became the first woman to clear 5 metres.[12] The same year Whitlock won her sixth and last AAA title.
