A hard introduction for the 22-year-old Kenyan and former junior champion, perhaps, but welcome to track and field in 2016. "The rumors roaming around the world are deeply affecting me," said Dibaba, who won silver behind Kipyegon. Dibaba had been tested "four, five, six" times in the buildup to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, she said, speaking through an interpreter. As for Aden, Dibaba said he is "only under investigation" and she had received no further information on his case from Spanish police. Kipyegon, aware her country is under heavy scrutiny amid doping allegations, said she and Kenya were "going by doping control" rules.
