After being found guilty of committing a second Anti-Doping violation, Kenyan marathoner Salome Jerono has been slapped with an eight-year ban by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU).

Jerono had previously been sanctioned by the AIU in 2012 for a first anti-doping rule violation and received a two-year ‘period on ineligibility’ after testing positive for Norandosterone, a substance prohibited under the World Anti-Doping agency (WADA) list.
