Boston Marathon winner in 2021 suspended in doping case

MONACO (AP) — Boston Marathon winner Diana Kipyokei has been suspended after testing positive for doping at the 2021 race she won. She’s also suspected of obstructing an investigation. Track and field’s Athletics Integrity Unit said Kipyokei’s sample after winning in Boston in October last year had traces of triamcinolone acetonide. It is a glucocorticoid prohibited at races when an athlete does not have permission to use it as a medication. The AIU says 10 Kenyans have tested positive for triamcinolone since the start of 2021. The 28-year-old Kipyokei faces a four-year ban and disqualification from the Boston win.
