    By IANS News May 18, 2024 • 09:18 AM View: 1212
    Athletics Integrity Unit: Kenyan Olympian and former world U-20 10,000m champion Rodgers Kwemoi has been handed an extended six-year ban by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) for blood doping.

    Kwemoi was found guilty of using blood boosters to improve his performance due to abnormalities in his Athlete's Biological Passport (ABP), according to a verdict signed on April 24, 2024, and made public by AIU on Friday, reported Xinhua.

    The 27-year-old runner was once tipped to be the future of long-distance track running in the East African nation following his breakthrough victory at the Bydgoszcz 2016 World U20 Championship in Poland.
