The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has imposed a four-year ban on Kenyan marathoner Brimin Kipkorir after he tested positive for prohibited substances.

In a comprehensive statement released on Tuesday, April 1, the AIU announced it had upheld an initial sanction placed on the 35-year-old, following positive tests for erythropoietin and furosemide. "The AIU has banned Brimin Misoi Kipkorir (Kenya) from 17 February 2025 for presence/use of prohibited substances (EPO, furosemide).

DQ results from November 22, 2024," the statement read.

Kipkorir's woes began on November 22, when he provided a urine sample for a routine test while in Kenya.
