Another Kenyan track and field official was expelled from the Olympics on Thursday allegedly for pretending to be one of the team’s 800-meter runners and giving a doping sample in the athlete’s name, Kenya’s team leader said.
John Anzrah was sent home after he was found with runner Ferguson Rotich’s Olympic accreditation card, and after he had provided a urine sample for a doping test and signed forms in the name of Rotich, Kenyan team leader Stephen Arap Soi said.
Anzrah, a former sprinter and now a track coach, was reported to authorities by doping control officers after the test at the athletes village in Rio de Janeiro, Arap Soi said.
