At the 2005 World Championships she originally finished in silver medal position behind Tatyana Tomashova, but was disqualified for obstructing Maryam Yusuf Jamal of Bahrain. The next year Chizhenko won the World Indoor Championships before finishing second at the 2006 European Athletics Championships, again behind Tomashova.

Fomenko was chosen to represent Russia at the 2008 Summer Olympics, but has since been suspended from competition due to doping test irregularities, along with six other Russian athletes, including Tomashova and Yelena Soboleva.[1][2]

On 20 October 2008, it was announced that Fomenko and six other Russian athletes would receive two-year doping bans for manipulating drug samples.[3]
