Coulaud made four appearances at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships and represented France at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics, running in the 3000 metres steeplechase. [2] She was briefly the French record holder in the latter event, with marks of 9:32:08 minutes then 9:31:43 minutes in June and July 2007. Sophie Duarte improved that time later in July that year. [3]

After a positive doping test for excess testosterone and traces of anabolic substances in February 2008 she received a three-year ban from the sport. [4]

Following her athletics ban, she received a suspended jail sentence of six months and a fine of €2000 for possession of restricted substances, after her cache of EPO, growth hormones and insulin was found. She responded to the court that she had obtained the substances through a Spanish doctor in Valencia. Coulaud retired from the sport internationally and focused on opening a clothes business. [5]

Julie is the sister of Aurélie Coulaud, another well known French middle-distance runner . [6]
