Kenyan former world 800 metres bronze medallist Kipyegon Bett died on Sunday from kidney and liver failure at the age of 26, his family said. Bett was one of Kenya's most promising middle distance runners but was banned by the World Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) in August 2018 for four years after he tested positive for the performance- enhancing substance erythropoietin (EPO). He denied ever using the blood-boosting drug.
