In March 2022 the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) of World Athletics has reported an an anti-doping rule violation against the Kenyan Athlete Justus Kimutai for his Whereabouts Filing Failure and 4 Missed Tests within a 12 month period, beginning in December 2020.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered while the Athlete failed to respond to the communications of the AIU. Because the Athlete failed to respond to the charge within the set deadline the AIU deems that the Athlete has admitted the anti-doping rule violation, waived his right for a hearing and accepted the consequences thereupon.
Therefore the AIU decides on 15 April 2022 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 4 March 2022.
