The three times world champion will know his fate today (Thursday) after a long stay away from the track.

Kiprop who has put the nation on the international map several times, risks being banned after he allegedly used the performance-enhancing substance.  

In his address from London, United Kingdom, the athlete said that he was confident the athletics governing body will rule in his favour.

The athlete, who was hit headlines because of a sex-related scandal, was banned from taking part in international competitions in May last year. IAAF conducted the test at his home in Iten in November 2017. 

Kiprop has maintained that he has never used the drugs to outdo his competitor and attributes his success to hard work and training. 

He has also said that he has been on the forefront in the campaign against doping despite being victimized over the same.

"I have never used EPO or any other performance-enhancing drugs," said Kiprop, as quoted by Daily Nation.
