Former Olympic 1500m champion Asbel Kiprop has been handed a four-year ban by the IAAF Disciplinary Tribunal for an anti doping rule violation.

He cannot compete till February 2022. The Kenyan, a three-time world champion, tested positive for erythropoietin (EPO) in an out-of-competition test in November 2017.

The 29-year-old had maintained his innocence and claimed his sample may have been tampered with.

The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), an independent body which manages all doping-related matters for athletics, also ruled his results and any winnings from November 2017 to February 2018 should be forfeited.
