Peres Jepchirchir Marathon Sydney Marathon Athletics Integrity Unit

Reigning world marathon champion and Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Peres Jepchirchir has been provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit after an out-of-competition test came back positive for EPO, six weeks before her Sydney Marathon win.

On this episode of The Running Story, Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down what the doping case means for her titles, for Sydney and for trust in elite marathoning.
