Wumo 2,791 Posted September 20, 2019 Author #82 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Kenyan 800m champion Jackline Wambui withdrew from the World Athletics championships after refusing to take testosterone test, the Athletics Kenya (AK) said on Thursday. Linda Kageha, who was in the mixed relay team also withdrew from the World championships for refusing to take mandatory testosterone test. “The IAAF has set tough conditions on gender and doping and we must comply. If an athlete fails to take the tests, they are definitely out of the World championships,” AK Vice President in charge of competitions Paul Mutwii told Reuters. “Wambui and Kageha declined the test on testosterone levels. They had no choice but to withdraw,” said Mutwii. The 19-year-old Jackline Wambui won the Kenyan trials last week in Nairobi with a new persona best and 10th fastest time this year in the World of 1:58.79. The 2013 World Champion Eunice Sum will be the only representative from Kenya in the women's 800m race at the World Championships in Doha which will kick off on September 27. Mutwii said that the AK were still waiting for an answer from IAAF Athletes Integrity Unit (AIU) over the fate of Michael Kibet and Daniel Simiyu in men's 5,000m. https://www.watchathletics.com/article/10929/kenyan-800m-champion-jackline-wambui-out-of-worlds-after-refusing-to-take-testosterone-test/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently from what they wrote by some dumb mistake they somehow forgot our 100m Hurdles runner Stanislava Škvarková (ex Lajčáková) she and another runner were the last two athletes to complete the starting list of the 100m Hurdles but by mistake in the system they somehow they didn´t see them on their files Now they officially invited Stanislava to Dauha to compete in the 100m Hurdles So Team will have 6 athletes including Stanislava Škvarková (Lajčáková) (100m Hurdles) ahjfcshfghb and Jan Linha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana Mezulianikova in 800m and Eliska Stankova in discus. Especially happy for Eliska- first championship at the age of 34 Unfortunately two more who were invited, Cervenkova in shot put and Sekanova in steeplechase couldn't come due to injuries.

But they all have relatively few elite athletes, so I'm guessing the absences are due to injuries. Or the fact that they missed the deadlines- it does happen with federations like that. As for and they haven't competed since 2007 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for and they haven't competed since 2007 ! Which I find mostly surprising for Liechtenstein. I mean, sure, they are tiny and everyone with athletic ability puts on skis but surely someone can run a half-decent marathon or 100m or something? I'm mostly sad about Tuvalu, I always like seeing them in the 100m heats. ahjfcshfghb 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Exactly, Eliska deserves it a lot. And it's pity that Marketa Cervenkova and Lucie Sekanova cannot go due to injury. Tuey might have collected important point to the IAAF ranking before Tokyo 2020! ahjfcshfghb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
