Dibaba dropped out from the race at 3600m marker when she was passed by her compatriot Letesenbet Gidey, who won the race in 14:45.63. Moments later medical assistance was given to her as she was removed from the track in a wheelchair.
Dibaba competed 10 days after her coach, Jama Aden, was arrested by Catalan police on suspicion of possessing EPO and other banned substances in Sabadell, Spain last Monday.
