Kenyan Olympic women marathon champion, Jemimah Jelagat Sumgong has been banned from international competition for four years by the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK). Sumgong who became the first female athlete from Kenya to win the marathon title at the Rio 2016 Summer Games, is disallowed to compete from April 3 after her appeal following her positive test for EPO was dismissed by the Sports Tribunal.
The Kenyan marathon star was suspended from defending her London Marathon title in April when her A-Sample Sumgong tested positive for the banned blood booster pending the results of her B-Sample following an out of competition test conducted on February 28, 2017.
