Kenya's Athletics Association has received a report
indicating that two long-distance runners, who have yet to be publicly named,
have failed a doping test.
The association is delaying identifying the runners so as
not to spoil a planned reception for long-distance runner Mary Keitany, who won
the London Marathon women’s race last weekend, breaking the world record.
Only three weeks ago, another Kenyan, former London Marathon
winner Jemima Sumgong was suspended for failing a drugs test, BBC reports.
Some of Kenya’s elite athletes are said to be worried that
the doping scandals could severely dampen their successes and they will be
demanding decisive action against the offenders.
