The Japanese Geher Koki Ikeda, silver medalist over 20 km at the 2021 Olympics and the 2022 World Cup, has been occupied with a four -year doping lock. This was announced by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) on Friday. The 26-year-old has been temporarily closed since November after the AIU had accused him of “blood manipulation”. “Anomalies” were found in blood samples from 2023, it was said in an explanation. Ikeda’s results between June 20, 2023 and November 1, 2024 were canceled, including his seventh place at the summer games 2024 in Paris. The Japanese denied the allegations and can appeal to the International Sports Court CAS.
