Kenyan cross-country runner Emmaculate Anyango has been banned from Athletics.
The prohibition will take a period of six years.
The reason for the ban was after failing a doping test for testosterone and the blood-boosting hormone EPO as stated by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU).
The second woman athlete to complete a 10km race in under 29 minutes (28:57) in Valencia in January was provisionally suspended last month.
According to Citizen Digital, the AIU said that Anyango said in September that she did not know how EPO and metabolites of testosterone were found in her system but admitted that she had been injected during treatment at several hospitals after she fainted.
She added that she had not deliberately taken or get injected any prohibited substances, yet the AIU were not convinced by her explanation and charged her with anti-doping rule violation.
The AIU also said that Anyango failed to respond to the charge before the Nov 1st deadline which compelled her right to a hearing, while multiple substances samples tested positive for banned substances which were ultimately leading to a longer period of ban.
Since the ban is effective, all her results since Feb 3rd have been disqualified.
