Posted : 01 April 2026
Kenyan marathoner Albert Korir, 2021 New York Marathon champion, received a five-year ban for using the banned drug EPO.
The Athletics Integrity Unit reduced his original six-year suspension by one year due to early admission.
Korir's ban highlights ongoing doping challenges in Kenya, where over 140 long-distance runners have faced sanctions since 2016.
