Wanjiru denies doping
Print Edition
Kenyan Daniel Wanjiru, the 2017 London Marathon winner, has denied any wrongdoing after he was provisionally suspended by the sport’s independent Athletics Integrity Unit on Tuesday. The AIU said in a statement that a charge was issued against Wanjiru for “use of a prohibited substance/method,” but the Kenyan said he was clean and had never used doping. His management company Volare Sports said the AIU charge was based on “alleged abnormal variations in the hematological profile” from Wanjiru’s Athlete Biological Passport. ABPs are used to monitor selected biological variables over time that indirectly reveal the effects of doping rather than attempting to detect the doping substance or method itself. Under anti-doping rules Wanjiru, 27, is barred from competing until a hearing has taken place into the allegation. “I am clean in the sports I do,” he was quoted as saying in a statement issued by Volare Sports. “I feel I am already seen as a sinner of doping, but I am not. I am innocent.”
