The Court of Arbitration has overturned the decision of the World Athletics Disciplinary Tribunal concerning Kenyan-born Kazakhstani Norah Jeruto.
Kenyan-born Kazakhstani Norah Jeruto has won her case against World Athletics (WA) after she was banned for "use of a prohibited substance or method" concerning her biological passport.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS) announced the dismissal of the appeal by World Athletics to ban Jeruto for four years.
As per the ruling, the athlete showed abnormal values in two blood tests in 2020 and 2021. With the results, the authorities concluded that it was an evidence for doping which resulted in her being suspended between April and November 2023. Due to that, she missed her title defense at the World Championships in Budapest.
