Kip Keino Classic Championship: Uganda's middle-distance runner Janat Chemusto has been banned for four years by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) for doping violations.

The body created by the World Athletics, whose role is to protect the integrity of the sport, announced the ban on Wednesday after Chemusto failed to challenge the AIU's assertion of Anti-Doping Rule Violations, reports Xinhua.

"The AIU has banned Janat Chemusto (Uganda) for 4 years, from July 13, 2023, for the Presence of a Prohibited Substance (19-Norandrosterone)," said the statement.
