The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has provisionally suspended Rhonex Kipruto, a Kenyan athlete who holds a world record, due to an alleged doping violation.

Kipruto achieved the remarkable feat of breaking the 10k road race world record in Valencia in 2020.

Additionally, he earned a bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships for his outstanding performance in the 10,000m race.

The suspension imposed on Kipruto is pending a hearing, which will determine his ultimate fate and the consequences of the alleged doping violation.
