Doping ban for top marathon runner who submitted a fake prescription
One of the world’s leading marathon runners, Ruti Aga, has been banned for six years. Track and field’s anti-doping investigators found Aga submitted a forged prescription to explain a failed drug test. The Athletics Integrity Unit says the Ethiopian runner tested positive for the banned substance methylprednisolone after winning a half marathon in China in March. The AIU adds the document she provided bore the name of a non-existent clinic and the signature of a family member.
Aga won the Tokyo Marathon in 2019 and is a four-time podium finisher at major marathons.
