Nairobi, Kenya — Kenya’s women’s marathon world record holder Ruth Chepngetich has been banned for three years after admitting to anti-doping rule violations, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) announced on Thursday. However, her record-breaking 2:09:56 marathon time, set in Chicago last October, will remain valid as it was achieved before her positive drug test. Chepngetich, 31, was provisionally suspended in July after the banned diuretic hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) was found in her urine sample collected on March 14. Laboratory results revealed an HCTZ concentration of 3,800ng/mL, far exceeding the World Anti-Doping Agency’s minimum threshold of 20ng/mL.

An AIU investigation analyzed her medications, supplements, and phone data but found no evidence to support her defense. Two weeks after her suspension, on July 31, Chepngetich changed her explanation, […]

Africa Needs $250bn for Climate Goals, Says Kenyan Envoy

The Kenyan High Commissioner to Nigeria, Isaac Parashina, has stated that Africa requires $250 billion to meet its climate change goals, a target for which current funding falls drastically short. Speaking at a climate forum in Abuja, the envoy emphasized that the continent's main challenge is a lack of financial resources, not vision. He called for equitable access to global climate finance to ensure investments translate into measurable impact. Parashina highlighted that the transition gaps are not only financial but also institutional, technological, and managerial. He pointed to Kenya's own success in geothermal energy as an example of what can be achieved with policy continuity and a supportive regulatory environment. The envoy also stressed the need for greater collaboration between African nations, suggesting that Kenya and Nigeria have significant potential for cooperation in renewable energy and green technology.
