Athletics Kenya CEO's challenge dismissed

A challenge by Athletics Kenya's CEO against provisional suspension for allegedly soliciting bribes from two athletes has been rejected by the IAAF.

The IAAF's ethics board has rejected a challenge from the CEO of Athletics Kenya against his provisional suspension for allegedly soliciting bribes from two athletes.

Isaac Mwangi was provisionally suspended in February, after AP first reported the allegations from runners Joy Sakari and Francisca Koki Manunga.

Mwangi challenged that decision in March.

In a statement on Thursday, the ethics board said it had dismissed his challenge.
