In May 2024 the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), on behalf of World Athletics, reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Kenyan Athlete Jackline Jeptanui after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Triamcinolone acetonide.
Following notification in May 2024 the Athlete initially did not respond. In June 2024 she first only submitted photographs of her Doping Control Form of 10 March 2024. Ultimately the Athlete admitted the violation, waived her right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by the AIU.
The AIU deems that there is no evidence that the Athlete's violation was intentional. Further the AIU determines that she had signed and submitted the Admission of Anti-Doping Rule Violations and Acceptance of Consequences Form.
Therefore the AIU decides on 20 June 2024 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 7 June 2024.
