IAAF 2018 IAAF vs Asbel Kiprop
April 10, 2019
On 10 April 2019 the IAAF Disciplinary Tribunal decided to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Kenyan Athlete Asbel Kiprop after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Erythropoietin (EPO).
In first instance the Athlete's explanations for the positive test results were rejected. Also the Panel dismissed the applications filed by the Athlete in his defence.
Hereafter the Athlete appealed the IAAF Decision with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Thereupon the Athlete requested repeatedly to suspend the proceedings or to extend the set deadlines.
Ultimately in July 2019 the President of the CAS Appeals Arbitration Division established that the Athlete had failed to file timely his Appeal Brief before the deadline had lapsed.
Therefore on 23 June 2020 the President of the Appeals Arbitration Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, rules in camera, pronounces:
1.) The procedure CAS 2019/A/6292 Asbel Kiprop v. International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) is terminated and removed from the CAS roll.
2.) This Order is rendered without costs, except for the Court Office fee of CHF 1,000 paid by Mr. Asbel Kiprop, which is retained by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
