Athletics Kenya on
Tuesday named former army chief Jackson Tuwei as the new temporary president to
replace Isaiah Kiplagat, a day after he was suspended with two other officials
by the IAAF ethics commission. Kiplagat, who led the national athletics
federation for more than 20 years, was suspended along with his vice-president
David Okeyo and former treasurer Joseph Kinyua over suspicions they had
siphoned off sponsorship money from Nike and subverted anti-doping controls.
