In November 2024 the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), on behalf on World Athletics, reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Kenyan Athlete Beatrice Jelagat Cherop after her sample tested positive for the in competition prohibited substance Triamcinolone acetonide.
Following notification the Athlete timely admitted the violation, waived her right for a hearing and accepted the sanction proposed by the AIU. She also signed and submitted the Admission of Anti-Doping Rule Violations and Acceptance of Consequences Form.
The AIU deems that there is no evidence that the Athlete's violation was intentional. Further the AIU determines there are no grounds for a reduced sanction.
Therefore the AIU decides on 2 December 2024 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on 27 November 2024 and the disqualification of the Athlete’s results on and since 6 October 2024with all resulting Consequences.
