- Kenya’s former Olympic 1500 metres champion Asbel Kiprop has been handed a four-year ban for doping, the Athletics Integrity Unit said on Saturday.
The 29-year-old, who also won three world championship golds, tested positive for the banned blood booster erythropoietin in November 2017. But the AIU, an independent body managing all doping-related matters for athletics, said they were satisfied that there had been no interference and an IAAF Disciplinary Tribunal on Saturday suspended him for four years effective February 2018.“The panel is aware that its order will interrupt, and may even terminate, the athlete’s sporting career and cast a shadow over his impressive competitive record,” it said in a statement.
Kiprop can appeal his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport . He continues to maintain his innocence.
