In September 2022 the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) on behalf of World Athletics has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Kenyan Athlete Mark Kangogo after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone) and Triamcinolone acetonide.
After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by the AIU.
The Athlete stated that he had used supplements and medication for the treatment of an ankle injury. Yet, none of them listed the prohibited substances in their ingredients.
Because the Athlete signed and submitted the Admission of Anti-Doping Rule Violations and Acceptance of Consequences Form he received a 1 year reduction from the AIU.
Therefore the AIU decides on 12 October 2022 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 9 September 2022.
