2019 took Rhonex Kipruto VM-bronze in 10,000 meters – now the Kenyan is shut down for a whole six years after he got stuck in a doping control. According to the verdict released by the anti-doping organization AIU on Wednesday, Kipruto has blood-doped.
26-year-old Kipruto holds the world record in 10-kilometer road running.
As a result of the suspension, Kipruto will lose his VM medal.
The prominent marathon runner Joshua Belet, also from Kenya, has also been suspended after being caught for the use of anabolic steroids.
