Two Kenyans have been suspended after testing positive at the world athletics championships, the global governing body of track and field said Wednesday.
The pair, 400 meter hurdler Koki Manunga and 400 meter runner Joyce Zakary, were the subject of “targeted” doping tests at Beijing hotels on Aug. 20 and 21, the two days before the event started, the IAAF said in an e-mailed statement.
