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.
