Doping charges dropped

PROSECUTORS in Kenya withdrew doping charges against banned marathon runner Rita Jeptoo’s former manager yesterday, saying they wanted to conduct more investigations.

Federico Rosa, an Italian national, had been facing charges that he provided or administered banned substances to Jeptoo and another little-known Kenyan runner, with some of the allegations dating back as far as 2004. Rosa said he had been given back his passport by a court in Nairobi and was free to go. He had been out on bail ahead of yesterday’s court hearing.
