Boston Marathon winner may lose title for doping
Diana Kipyokei may have her 2021 Boston Marathon victory rescinded after she tested positive for a banned substance and allegedly obstructed an investigation into the cheating allegations. The Kenyan runner’s sample after winning the race in October 2021 had traces of triamcinolone acetonide, according to the Athletics Integrity United (AIU). The drug is a glucocorticoid prohibited at races when an athlete doesn’t have permission to use it as a medication.
