10k world record holder Rhonex Kipruto banned 6 years for doping, world record cancelled by AIU.
10k world record holder Rhonex Kipruto from Kenya has been banned for six years for doping, and his world record cancelled, by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU). The AIU's disciplinary tribunal found "irregularities in his Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) resulted from doping." Abnormalities in his blood samples pointed to a "deliberate and sophisticated doping regime" and Kipruto likely had help from unknown third parties. His ban will last until May 10, 2029.
