Josephine Jepkoech Jepkorir (Josephine Chepkoech) and Agatha Jeruto Kimaswai are now banned for norandrosterone positives. Jepkoech's positive sample was from 31 December, so she got away with a 2-year ban, while Jeruto took the full 2015 CODE 4-year blow, as her positive sample was from 14 April (the day before Nike pubilshed this:

)
Any info about who manages(ed) these two? Still a real need for us to eliminate the middle men instead of just letting it be a revolving lineup of dirty athletes.
Never mind. Jeruto is just another one for the Rosa crew. And in an ironic twist, it looks like her failing sample was collected the same day she joined in a press conference supporting her manager:
"Q: Can females use 19-Norandrosterone?
A: No. Don’t even think about it ladies! The side effects are harsh and you already know what they are for females – an irreversible deepening of the voice and clitoral enlargement, along with facial hair, and a nice little condition affectionately known as “man jawâ€."
Does she have a man jaw?

The German journalist who has been making features about this found no European/manager influence. He has stated that the rash of positives colming out of Kenya are due to Kenyan doctors who have offered to supply drugs in exchange for a percentage of winnings.
I wonder if that old guy she's married has anything to do with it? Rosa Associti again, in the spotlight. Big question is if the problem it's foreign coaches and agents or local backstreet doctors and pharmacies.
