Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Kenyan runner Rhonex Kipruto has been stripped of his world record in men\u2019s 10-kilometer road racing and banned for six years in a doping case.<\/b><\/p>\n

A disciplinary panel ruled that abnormalities in Kipruto\u2019s blood samples pointed to \u201ca deliberate and sophisticated doping regime\u201d and Kipruto likely had help from unknown third parties. At the time, he was aiming to qualify for the last Summer Olympics in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

The panel imposed a six-year ban because of what it deemed the \u201caggravating circumstances\u201d in the case, up from a standard four-year doping ban.<\/p>\n

Kipruto was disqualified from all of his results since September 2018, meaning he loses a world championship bronze medal in the 10,000 meters from 2019 and his 10k road record from 2020.<\/p>\n

That record is set to pass to Ethiopian runner Berihu Aregawi. He ran 26 minutes, 33 seconds in the 10k last year, nine seconds slower than Kipruto\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

No banned substance was found in Kipruto\u2019s system and the case rested on data from his biological passport, which tracks athletes\u2019 blood samples over time to detect irregularities and changes that point to blood doping.<\/p>\n

The panel said Kipruto\u2019s defense sought to blame illnesses, irregular training habits and his alcohol use, which it said had increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kipruto also sought to dispute the validity of some blood samples in the case.<\/p>\n

A statement on Kipruto\u2019s website dated Tuesday and attributed to unnamed legal counsel indicated he is considering an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. \u201cDespite exhaustive efforts to present comprehensive medical evidence and expert testimonies, the ruling failed to consider crucial aspects of Rhonex\u2019s health and circumstances,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

It is the latest in a long series of doping cases involving Kenyan distance runners.<\/p>\n
