Diana Kipyokei faces a ban and the loss of her 2021 Boston Marathon title over a positive drug test and claims that she tried to obstruct an investigation.
The AIU did not reveal the specifics of Kipyokei’s obstruction but said Kipyokei’s postrace test revealed the presence of a metabolite of triamcinolone acetonide, a glucocorticoid that is banned for in-competition use when administered through prohibited routes. Athletes must receive a Therapeutic Use Exemption for glucocorticoids — steroids that canwhen administered a certain way — during competition periods or prove that they were administered via an allowed route.
At the time of Kipyokei’s positive test, glucocorticoids could only be administered via injection, though that rule has since changed to also allow for administration via other means.The AIU noted in Friday’s announcement that 10 Kenyan athletes tested positive for triamcinolone acetonide between 2021 and 2022 and that only two athletes from other countries tested positive for the substance over the same time period.
As of now, the 28-year-old Kipyokei is only provisionally suspended and still is considered the 2021 Boston Marathon winner, but if the AIU’s finds that she committed the violations, she would be stripped of her title and face a suspension of four years.
