Marathon world record-holder Ruth Chepngetich provisionally suspended over banned substance

Find out what's new on ST website and app. Ruth Chepngetich smashed the women's marathon record in Chicago in October 2024, becoming the first woman to break two hours, 10 minutes. LONDON - Women's marathon world record-holder Ruth Chepngetich has been provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit for the presence and use of the prohibited substance hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). The substance, a diuretic, was detected in a sample collected from the Kenyan athlete on March 14, the AIU said in a statement on July 17. 'Chepngetich was not provisionally suspended by the AIU at the time of notification. However, on April 19, she opted for a voluntary provisional suspension while the AIU's investigation was ongoing,' said AIU head Brett Clothier. 'In the intervening months, the AIU continued its investigation and today issued a notice of charge and imposed its own provisional suspension.' The AIU said HCTZ is used clinically to treat fluid retention and hypertension, adding that diuretics may be abused to mask the presence in urine of other prohibited substances. Chepngetich smashed the women's marathon record in Chicago in October 2024, running two hours, nine minutes and 56 seconds to become the first woman to break 2:10. Chepngetich's agent did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Marathon running has been hit with a spate of high-profile doping cases in recent years, particularly from Kenya which is world renowned for its middle and long-distance runners. In April 2023, Athletics Kenya said its government pledged US$5 million (S$6.4 million) a year for five years to fight doping in athletics. In February 2024, Kenya's Sarah Chepchirchir was hit with an eight-year ban after the former Tokyo Marathon winner was found to have violated anti-doping regulations for a second time. A year later, Kenyan marathon runner Brimin Kipkorir was also provisionally suspended by the AIU after he tested positive for prohibited substances. REUTERS

US delays Patriot arms deliveries to Switzerland in switch to Ukraine

Find out what's new on ST website and app. The US told Switzerland it will "reprioritise the delivery of Patriot systems to support Ukraine". GENEVA - Delivery of US Patriot weapons systems to Switzerland will be delayed as Washington reprioritises to provide more support to Ukraine, the Swiss government said on July 17. The US defence department informed Bern this week 'that it will reprioritise the delivery of Patriot systems to support Ukraine, focusing on ground-based air defence' there, the Swiss defence ministry (DDPS) said in a statement. 'This also affects Switzerland, which will receive its production batches later than planned,' it said. US President Donald Trump on July 14 announced a deal with Nato chief Mark Rutte for European Nato states to buy US weaponry – particularly advanced Patriot systems – and give it to Kyiv. The move marked a pivot for Mr Trump as his patience has worn thin with Russia's President Vladimir Putin for frustrating efforts to halt the war in Ukraine. European countries – including Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden – have expressed willingness to buy the weaponry for Kyiv. The Swiss government statement said that the US decision to 'reprioritise the delivery of Patriot ground-based air defence systems' to ensure they get to Ukraine would impact a Swiss order made three years ago.

With its traditional position of well-armed military neutrality, Switzerland would not pass on weapons systems to Ukraine. But it said that 'on July 16, the US Department of Defence informed the DDPS that Switzerland would also be affected by the new prioritisation and that deliveries intended for Switzerland would be delayed'. 'It is currently unclear how many systems will be affected and whether the delivery of guided missiles will also be affected,' it said. 'No statement can be made at this stage regarding the exact timing and any further implications for Switzerland,' the statement added, stressing that 'clarifications are ongoing'. Washington had already informed Switzerland a year ago that the country's order of the PAC-3 MSE version of the guided missiles for Patriot would be delivered later than planned, also in connection with support for Ukraine.

Argentine clubs welcome back away fans after 12 years

Find out what's new on ST website and app. Soccer Football - Copa Sudamericana - Group H - Lanus v Gremio - Estadio Ciudad de Lanus, Buenos Aires, Argentina - April 29, 2021 General view inside the stadium before the match Pool via REUTERS/Agustin Marcarian BUENOS AIRES - Argentine football clubs can now welcome away supporters after a 12-year ban, the Argentine Football Association said on Thursday. The ban, imposed in 2013 following violent incidents, including the death of a spectator, has now been lifted as part of a staged reintroduction ahead of the next round of fixtures in the current league campaign. "This is a historic day because it marks the beginning of the return of visiting fans, enabling clubs that wish to host them to do so," AFA president Claudio Tapia said at a press conference. He added that the move was partly motivated by the excitement surrounding Angel Di Maria's return to Argentina's top flight. Test events are scheduled for this weekend, including Di María's presentation with Rosario Central at Lanus' stadium and River Plate's visit to Instituto de Cordoba. Rosario Central president Gonzalo Belloso appealed to his club's fans to behave appropriately amid the renewed presence of rival supporters. Javier Alonso, the Buenos Aires Province Security Minister, stressed that clubs wishing to host visiting fans will need to secure approval from the authorities and that the away team must ensure the responsible behaviour of its supporters.
