AGENCY CHIEF: 9 ETHIOPIAN RUNNERS FACE DRUG PROBE

The general secretary of Ethiopia’s anti-doping agency says nine of the country’s runners, five of them “top athletes,” are under investigation for doping. Solomon

Meaza said his agency is investigating the five athletes he described as high-profile after they returned “suspicious” results in doping tests. He says the IAAF has requested contact details for the other four and the world body is investigating them.
