Two-time 800m World Championship gold medalist Billy Komintai Konchellah had his appointment as a member of the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) revoked a week after he landed the government role.

The new development was disclosed through a gazette notice by Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya.

However, Konchellah went on to land another government role, this time as a member of the National Heroes Council.  His appointment was confirmed by Gender CS Hannah Cheptumo, with the former athlete to be at the Council for three years.

Konchellah won two gold medals in the 800m at the World Championships in Rome (1987) and Tokyo (1991).
