The 2019 10,000 bronze medallist was bused for an ABP violation. His agent Davor Savija has some fanatastic quotes in this piece. "It is difficult and unfortunate for me to say that I find myself in a situation where my heart is broken," said Kipruto's manager Davor Savija in an e-mail. : "The heartbreak is caused by the fact that I find all of the possible outcomes of this situation leading to a major loss. If Rhonex is lying which I do not believe is the case that is obviously a disaster. If all of these accusations are just a big mistake such as a false positive ABP case or, God forbid, if AIU has 'dropped the ball' then all such scenarios are big losses."
