Kenya's Brimin Kipkorir suspended after testing positive for banned substances
The Kenyan marathon runner Brimin Kipkorir has been suspended provisionally, after he tested positive for prohibited substances, the Athletics Integrity Unit said on Monday. Kipkorir won the Sydney Marathon in 2024 in a course-record time of 2hr 06min 18sec, and the Frankfurt Marathon in 2022 and 2023. 'The AIU has provisionally suspended Brimin Misoi Kipkorir (Kenya) for the presence/use of prohibited substances (EPO, furosemide),' the AIU said in a statement. 'This sample was collected out of competition on 22 November 2024.' Marathon running has been hit with a spate of high-profile doping cases in recent years, particularly from the sport's powerhouse nation, Kenya. Kenya's Diana Kipyokei was stripped of her 2021 Boston Marathon title for doping in 2022 and was handed a six-year ban.
