Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has provisionally suspended Kenyan sprinter Mark Otieno asserted to have breached anti-doping rules in Tokyo 2020 following testing by International Testing Agency (ITA).

“The ITA, who are responsible for testing at the Olympic Games on behalf of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), had asserted anti-doping rule violations and provisionally suspended Otieno alongside four other athletes,” said AIU.
