July 15, 2021
In October 2018 the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Henry Kiprotich Sang for tampering with any part of the Doping Control.
ADAK had established that the medical information provided by the Athlete was forged in order to explain his positive test for 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone).
The Athlete had attempted to demonstrate with falsified medical documents and false statements that his medical treatment in a hospital had caused the positive test. Yet, the Kericho County Referral Hospital denied that the Athlete had been in the hospital in October 2017.
Consequently the Kenya Sports Disputes Tribunal decided on 15 July 2021 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete. Furthermore ADAK filed criminal charges against him.
Before the Kenya Chief Magistrate's Court at Kericho four witnesses were heard.
- Two officers of ADAK established that the Athlete's medical documents had been falsified and that he did not underwent medical treatment in the hospital in October 2017.
- Two officers of the Kericho County Referral Hospital confirmed that there was no record that the Athlete had attended the hospital in October 2017.
In view of the evidence in this case the Court deems that there was sufficient evidence that the Athlete had committed the crime. Therefore the Court decides on 20 March 2024 that the Athlete is found guilty as charged and convicted under section 215 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Chapter 75) laws of Kenya.
