Olympic marathon champion Jemima Sumgong has failed an out-of-competition drugs test.

The 32-year-old tested positive for the banned substance EPO in a test by athletics governing body the IAAF.

Sumgong also won the 2016 London marathon and was due to defend her title later this month.

“We can confirm that an anti-doping rule violation case concerning Jemima Sumgong (Kenya) has commenced this week,” the IAAF said in a statement.

"The athlete tested positive for EPO (Erythropoietin) following a no-notice test conducted in Kenya.

“This was part of an enhanced IAAF out-of-competition testing programme dedicated to elite marathon runners which is supported by the Abbott World Marathon Majors group.”

But why?

4

Erm… probably because she used banned substances. I think she’ll lose her London Marathon medal.

5

She’s going to allege there was some @MISCHIEF.
But what will @Some Say?

6

Some of these banned substances can show up in those tests are simply because the person took some cold medicine or even maybe their diet just before the test lead to an increase of the stuff in the body.

anyway, i think there should be an olympics for people who use steriods. Lets see just how far we can push the human body.
I mean, who wouldnt want to watch a 100m race run in in 5 seconds?that would be fucking amazing!!! marathons being run in 40 mins…

Well, there’s Mr. Olympia for now at least.

8

Primitive energry at its best…

9

Whats that? is it the body building compe? that is kusafisha macho for gay dudes and chics who like that kind of thing

10

Ole wake.
But how come thy never nail Mo Farah despite all the suspicions and allegations?

11

He he he he! Yeah. There’s nothing gay about body building, it is an art form. I guess watching Gay in his tight bodysuit running is gay too?

12

there is a difference between watching how fast a dude is running and some jamaa showing off his oiled body bits to you so you can judge them on how nice they are

13

Hehehe.

14

Let’s hope it’s not true coz even the clean athletes will suffer greatly.

ION, Sumgong, sounds like a fake Samsung phone from Chinkuland!

15

:D:D:D:D

16

There is nothing gay about bodybuilding and anybody who thinks so is himself gayish in a funny way.

17

Eti cold medicine. Those are tired excuses that are used by cheaters. She was busted for EPO which is a well known blood booster. She has no excuses.

18

Its is also a naturally occurring hormone. Who is to say medication cant influence the quantity produced?

19

If there was a medication that can boost EPO levels then that medication would have already been banned. Wacha hizi excuses.
IAAF has been testing for EPO for over a decade now and I have never heard anyone say eti some cold medication can boost EPO levels.

And These athletes are advised by qualified experts regarding what kind of medications they can take.
