ATHLETICS Ferdinand Omanyala’s partner sends him heartwarming birthday message as he turns 28
Ferdinand Omanyala turned 28 on Tuesday and his better half used the occasion to make a special wish for him ahead of a grueling year
The 41-year-old was slapped with a four-year-ban for whereabouts failures, not being available for drug testing, and providing false evidence in his case.
Kipsang had been provisionally banned in January 2020 in the case handled by the Athletics Integrity Unit. The former Olympic bronze medallist was punished for four whereabouts failures between April 2018 and May 2019.
Three such failures within 12 months led to an automatic ban, however, the Kenyan had his sanction increased after it was ruled that he had tampered with the investigation by providing “false evidence and witness testimony”.
