Former London Marathon winner Wanjiru denies wrongdoing after provisional ban
Wednesday, 15 Apr 2020 11:47 PM MYTNAIROBI, April 15 — Kenyan Daniel Wanjiru, the 2017 London Marathon winner, has denied any wrongdoing after he was provisionally suspended for an Athlete Biological Passport violation by the sport’s independent Athletics Integrity Unit yesterday.
ABPs are used to monitor selected biological variables over time that indirectly reveal the effects of doping rather than attempting to detect the substance or method itself. “I stand for clean sports. My results of the past came through hard work only. I have never used doping,” he added “At this point the athlete is provisionally suspended and due process needs to be completed by the authorities,” he told Reuters.
Kenya is world famous for its dominance in long and middle-distance running, but over the last five years a series of doping scandals has tarnished its reputation with around 60 of the country’s athletes sanctioned for anti-doping violations.
