Kenyan runner Rono banned 4 years for evading doping test

Kenyan authorities are battling a doping crisis, with more than 50 athletes from the East African country currently suspended.

Rono, who also has podium finishes at the Eindhoven and Frankfurt Marathons, was banned until Jan.

The extensive problems raised fears of an all-out ban for the Kenyan athletics federation late last year but the governing body of track stopped short of that strict sanction after the Kenyan government gave guarantees to devote more funding to its anti-doping effort
