Esther Chesang banned for four years
29-year-old marathoner Esther Chesang has been banned for four years by the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya for use of a prohibited substance.
"The period of ineligibility (non-participation in both local and international events) for the respondent shall be for four years from the date of mandatory provisional suspension that is 11/5/ 2022 pursuant to article 10.2.1.2 of the WADC," read a Sports Disputes Tribunal ruling of April 23.
Chesang, the Sierre-Zinal 2022 women's winner, was suspended for the presence of triamcinolone acetonide.
The panel was chaired by Gichuru Kiplagat while Peter Ochieng and Gabriel Ouko were members.
The Tribunal added: "The disqualification of results in the event during which the ADRV occurred and in competitions after sample collections or commission of the ADRV with all resulting consequences including forfeiture of any medal, points and prizes pursuant to Article 9 and 10 of WADC."
