    The man who beat kiwi Nick Willis to gold at the 2008 Olympics has been banned for four years for doping

    The man who beat kiwi Nick Willis to gold at the 2008 Olympics has been banned for four years for doping


    Kenyan 1500m runner Asbel Kiprop has received the ban from a disciplinary tribunal panel, disagreeing with his contention the sample could have been tampered with.
    The banned blood-boosting hormone EPO was found in the Kenyan athlete's urine sample in an out-of-competition test in 2017.

    Kiprop was moved from silver to gold retrospectively in Beijing and Nick Willis' took silver when original winner Rashid Ramzi was found to have been a drugs cheat.
