Athletics|The Kenyan runner no longer has anything to do with competitions.
Kenyan long distance runner Beatrice Toroitich has received a historic verdict, Expressen tells.
Toroitichi was banned for life, the first time in Kenyan athletics history.
The reason for the extraordinary punishment is clear: Toroitich, 42, was already convicted of doping for the third time in just a few years.
Toroitich was caught for the first time in 2019. At that time, he was banned from competition for a year. However, in 2022 and 2023, banned substances were found in the runner’s body again.
Kenya has struggled with serious doping problems in recent years. The country’s anti-doping agency has been given additional funding for testing athletes.
Toroitich’s record in the half marathon is 1:11.39 and in the full marathon is 2:27.41.
