Kenyan athletes Joyce Zakary and Koki Manunga have tested positive for banned substances at the World Championships in Beijing, the IAAF has announced. The pair were targeted in pre-competition tests at their team hotel on August 20 and 21.
Zakary was second in her opening heat on Monday, running a national record of 50.71 seconds in the 400 metres. But the 29-year-old did not run in the semi-finals a day later despite having the eighth best qualifying time. Manunga ran in the opening heats of the 400m hurdles on Sunday and finished sixth of seven, failing to reach the semi-finals.
