Three senior members of
Athletics Kenya (AK) have been provisionally suspended for 180 days with
immediate effect by athletics world governing body, the IAAF. The trio - Isaiah
Kiplagat, president of AK, David Okeyo, vice-president of AK and IAAF council
member, and Joseph Kinyua, former treasurer of AK and Kenya Team Leader at the
IAAF 2015 World Championships - are not allowed to hold any office or position
at either AK or the IAAF.
According
to a statement from the IAAF Ethics Commission, the trio are being investigated
for "potential subversion of the anti-doping control process" in
Kenya and "potential improper diversion from Athletics Kenya of funds
received from Nike".
