In July 2017 the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Nicholas Kiplagat Kosgei after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Prednisolone and Prednisone. After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the Judiciary Office of the Kenya Sports Disputes Tribunal.
The Athlete admitted the violation, accepted the test results and denied the intentional use of the substances. He testified that he had used over-the-counter medication for his condition. Afterwards he failed to mention his medication on the Doping Control Form nor did he apply for a TUE.
The Panel Judiciary Office of the Kenya Sports Disputes considers the Athlete’s degree of fault in this case and decides on 6 September 2018 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on 25 July 2017.
