Career

He won his first national title in the 100 m in 2005.[2] Having run a personal best of 10.25 seconds in Sofia in 2009, he was selected for the Moroccan national squad and came fourth in his heat at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics.[3] At the 2009 Jeux de la Francophonie a month later he took the silver medal over 100 m behind Ben Youssef Meité.[4] He ran for his country in both the 100 m and 200 m at the 2010 African Championships in Athletics and came sixth and fourth in the respective finals.[3]

Ouhadi developed rapidly in 2011: he improved the Moroccan record three times early in the season, culminating in a 10.09-second victory at the Meeting Grand Prix IAAF de Dakar.[5] He won the 100 m at the IAAF Rabat Meeting and headed to Europe, where he won at the Memorial Primo Nebiolo and Josef Odlozil Memorial.[6] He ran in both the sprints at the 2011 Military World Games and won two silver medals, finishing behind Femi Ogunode on both occasions.[7] He reached the final of the men's 60 metres at the 2012 World Indoor Championships.[3]

In 2017 he tested positive for SARMs and was banned from competition for four years between 17 April 2017 and 19 May 2021.[8]
