Kenyan marathon runner Rita Jeptoo banned 2 more years for doping
Kenyan marathon star Rita Jeptoo has been handed another 2-year ban by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for doping. This means she will be out of action until the 30th October 2018.
The 33 year old was initially banned for 2 years by the Athletics Kenya, after testing positive for the performance enhancing drug EPO, during the 2014 Chicago and Boston Marathon. But the world athletics' governing body, the IAAF challenged the ban and appealed to CAS, for it to be increased.
This is while, the ban has also seen her lose her titles. In addition, she was ordered to pay 15,000 dollars, as a contribution to the IAAF's legal fees and expenses.
