The fact that Cheptngetich's WR will be allowed to stand is total bullshit. If you think she was clean in Chicago then I've got some oceanfront property in Kansas I'd like to sell you.

Marathon world record holder Ruth Chepngetich has been banned for three years after testing positive for hydrochlorothiazide.

Because her positive test didn't come until five months after the fact, her world record of 2:09:56 will stand.
