AIU lift ban on Kenyan-born Kazakhstan Norah Jeruto
Jeruto had been provisionally suspended for the use of a Prohibited Substance/Method (ABP).
The Athletics Integrity Unit has announced the lifting of the ban on Kenyan-born Kazakhstani Norah Jeruto.
Jeruto, the former World 3000m Steeplechase champion had been provisionally suspended for breaking anti-doping rules. She was suspended for the use of a Prohibited Substance/Method (ABP). ABP refers to the Athlete's Biological Passport, which shows discrepancies that can reveal the effects of doping.
In a post on their X (Twitter) handle, the AIU clarified the matter, noting that the provisional suspension has been lifted.
“A panel of the Disciplinary Tribunal has found, by majority decision, that the case against Norah Jeruto (Kazakhstan), for Use of a Prohibited Substance/Method (ABP), was not proven. Her provisional suspension has been lifted with immediate effect,” the post read.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old won the world title last year in Eugene in a championship record of 8:53.02, the third fastest time in history.
Jeruto won the African Championships in the steeplechase in 2016 and the Diamond League title in 2021, both while representing Kenya but then she missed the Tokyo Olympics due to switching nations.
She also won the world under-18 title at 2000m steeplechase in 2011. In Eugene, the runner-up was Werkuha Getachew of Ethiopia with her team-mate Mekides Abebe third and Winfred Mutile Yavi of Bahrain was fourth. Britain’s Aimee Pratt was seventh in the race with a UK record of 9:15.64.
