The crime he has committed (is) against Team Kenya and that is why we are sending him back home." This is the second doping scandal to hit Kenya's track team at the Olympics, and comes with Kenyan athletics in the midst of a doping crisis and under severe scrutiny in Rio. While Anzrah was sent home by the Kenyan team, the IOC didn't say if there would be any repercussions for Rotich. He was arrested when he arrived back in Kenya from the Olympics, is being held in custody, and is facing criminal charges. The Kenyan team has been heavily tested for doping in the buildup to the Olympics because of years of problems in the country, a powerhouse in distance running.
