In March 2022 the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) of World Athletics has reported an an anti-doping rule violation against the Kenyan Athlete Mathew Kipkoeck Kisorio for his 3 Whereabouts Filing Failures and 1 Missed Test within a 12 month period, beginning in February 2021.
In this matter the Athlete failed to respond or provided insufficient explanations, nor requested an administrative review. Previously the Ahtlete had been sanctioned for 2 years in July 2012 for the presence of a prohibited substance.
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 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete for his second anti-doping rule violation, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 8 March 2022.
