Kenyan marathon runner Brimin Misoi Kipkorir has been provisionally suspended after he tested positive for prohibited substances.
Kipkorir, who won the Sydney Marathon in September last year in a course record time of 2:06:18, have a positive sample in an out-of-competition test on 22 November 2024.
“The AIU has provisionally suspended Brimin Misoi Kipkorir (Kenya) for the Presence/Use of Prohibited Substances (EPO, Furosemide),” the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said on Monday.
Marathon running has been hit with a spate of high-profile doping cases in recent years, particularly from powerhouse Kenya.
Kenya’s Diana Kipyokei was stripped of her 2021 Boston Marathon title for doping in 2022 and handed a six-year ban.
Kipkorir also won the Frankfurt Marathon in 2022 and 2023.
