MONACO (AP) — Former half-marathon world record holder Kibiwott Kandie is suspended while under investigation for failing to provide a doping sample, the Athletics Integrity Unit said Friday.

Track and field’s investigation body said Kandie has been charged with “evading, refusing or failing to submit to sample collection.”

Kandie set a world record in December 2020 with a time of 57 minutes, 32 seconds in Valencia, Spain. It is now third on the all-time list.

He also took bronze for Kenya in the 10,000 meters at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.
