Kenyan champion Kiprop wants jail terms for dopers

NAIROBI: Kenya’s three-time world 1,500 metres champion Asbel Kiprop reiterated on Saturday that athletes who fail dope tests should serve jail terms.

Commenting on the Anti-Doping Bill which was signed into law on Friday by the country’s President, Kiprop described it as a huge relief for clean athletes.

“I said two years ago in Doha that dopers should be jailed. I maintain that, although it should not be done retrogressively,” he told Reuters on Saturday at the Kenya Police Championships on the outskirts of the east African capital.
