Ekiru's 10-year Ban Exposes Complexity Of Doping In Kenyan Athletics
Athletics Integrity Unit: The lengthy 10-year ban slapped on Kenyan marathoner Titus Ekiru by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has exposed another dimension to the doping crisis that has plagued the country's athletics for almost a decade.
The AIU, in a statement in the Kenyan capital here on Monday evening, explained that the longest sanction imposed on a Kenyan athlete followed a comprehensive investigation which revealed the 31-year-old had tampered with investigations to obstruct the probe into two failed drug tests, reports Xinhua.
It added that Ekiru colluded with a senior doctor in Nandi County in northwest Kenya from whom, on two occasions - April 29 and May 6, 2021, the athlete received injections of triamcinolone acetonide during undocumented hospital visits.
