Newly engaged track star Asbel Kiprop plotting return to competition May 8th 2021 at 18:00:00 GMT +0300
Olympic and World 1,500m champion Asbel Kiprop was always seen as a strong man, or so he seemed. That was until his world turned upside down after he was implicated in doping and banned from athletics. If anything, it confirmed the truth in the popular quote that “the worst part of being strong is that no one asks if you are okay.”
Soon after he was banned after failing an out-of-competition test, video footage emerged of him with another woman in his car fondling and kissing, illustrating the depths he had sunk to.
Anderson did not answer a telephone call and did not respond to a text message. During his judge-alone trial, Anderson denied the assault and choking offences and claimed the woman had grabbed his arm and fell when he moved away. His criminal convictions meant that under Harness Racing rules he was automatically disqualified for two years. The disqualification extends to training, assisting or being involved in any capacity in the training of any horse without an exemption. The ban would have finished in August next year.
