Wilson Kipsang accuses athletics body of bias after doping ban.
Former marathon world record holder Wilson Kipsang has accused the Athletics Integrity Unit of bias. Kipsang and his team plan to seek redress at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The former London Marathon winner was banned from athletics for four years for doping control violations. Kipsang has won many medals with pride from London, Tokyo, and Berlin, but now faces a battle to save his reputation. The Athletics Integrity Unit reported that Kipsang failed to explain his whereabouts, tampered with evidence, and tampered with witness testimonies between 2018 and 2019. Kipsang maintains his explanation to the authorities and has assembled a 14-member legal team to appeal the sanction. He accuses the Athletics Integrity Unit of bias against Africa's rising stars and calls for African representation on the commission. Kipsang's management agency, Volare Sports, also plans to appeal the decision, asserting Kipsang's innocence. Kipsang's personal best time of 2 hours, 3 minutes, and 13 seconds, achieved in 2016 in Berlin, makes him the sixth fastest marathoner of all time.
