Virginia Berasategui

Multisport and Endurance Sports

Virginia Berasategui Luna was born on 15 July 1975 in Bilbao, in the province of Biscay, and is a Spanish triathlete and duathlete who represented Spain in international competition. In 2009 she took third place at the Ironman World Championships. In March 2013 she announced that she would retire from the sport after the 2013 season, but two months later she tested positive after winning the Bilbao Triathlon, confessed to doping and retired. The atlas records both her podium at the Ironman World Championships and the doping case that ended her career, since the two together make up the public record of her racing life.
