BBC Online :
Former Olympic 1500m champion Asbel Kiprop was tipped off by a doping control officer about a drugs test, but officials deny he was asked for money.
The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) confirmed the Kenyan, 28, tested positive for EPO after an out-of-competition test in November 2017.
The three-time world champion alleged his sample “turned positive” because he did not give the testers enough money.
That is rejected by the AIU, which said his sample was not tampered with.
However, the independent body which manages all doping-related matters for athletics said it is “extremely disappointing” Kiprop was provided with advance notice of the testing.
