By AYUMBA AYODIMore by this AuthorThe 2017 London Marathon champion Daniel Wanjiru has strongly denied committing any doping offence saying he has always competed clean and stood for a clean and fair sport. Wanjiru shot to the limelight when he edged out Ethiopian long-distance running legend Kenenisa Bekele to London Marathon victory in 2017 before finishing eighth in the 2017 London World Championships. Wanjiru then came 11th last year at the London Marathon last year, just days after claiming a third place at the Vitality Half Marathon race in the same city. Kipsang joins 2016 Rio Olympic Games marathon champion Jemimah Sumgong in disgraced list. Kiptum was already in London for the London Marathon but was invariably ejected from the race.
