Although the World Athletics didn't ratify the times in the race, his performance was an announcement to the world of his potential, and Kenya brewing another sprinter after Omanyala.
Likewise, he was a part of the Kenyan 4x100m quartet that clocked a National Record of 38.26s at the Botswana Grand Prix, which qualified them for the World Championships in Budapest. His suspension now means that performance is rendered null.
As reported by Daily Nation Kenya, the 24-year-old tested positive for banned substances, and others also suspended for various doping violations.
2021 World U20 3000m silver medallist Zenah Jemutai tested positive for the prohibited substance Triamcinolone acetonide, while African 800m champion Jarinter Mawia's samples tested positive for several banned substances, including Erythropoietin.
