Higenamine is a naturally-occurring chemical in fruit as well as being common dietary supplements.

Thank you for the information regarding this specific substance.
Even athletics Kenya didn't believe he was taking it through herbs, but LetsDope completely exeonerates him. And even if he did, it's used as a traditional anti-asthmatic medicine.

Just to make clear to the Russian troll Spade Detector and the mods - I'm ot saying this, you and the other racist doping apologists are saying this or implying it.
Despite most Kenyan runners not being able to read or write according to LetsRun white saviours, anyone who claims age cheating might be easy in Kenya is also a racist.
He took an illegal and dangerous substance because he thought it would give him an edge.
