Angela Munguti, a Kenyan teenage athlete, has been handed a four-year ban after admitting to a doping charge following a positive test for Norandrosterone during last year's Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 26, 2018.
The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) backdated the sanction to October 7, 2018, meaning Munguti will serve the ban up to 2022.
However, Munguti will not lose her silver medal in the African Youth Games 800m event, which she won in May 2018, before the doping tests were conducted.
According to the AIU, Munguti underwent an out-of-competition doping control as part of the Doping Control Programme at the Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires.
"The International Testing Agency (ITA), on behalf of the International Olympic Committee, initiated disciplinary proceedings against the athlete, offering her inter alia, the opportunity to provide an explanation and request the analysis of her B Sample," AIU said in its statement.
Munguti waived her opportunity to have her 'B' sample tested and accepted the findings of the initial test.
She eventually admitted the doping charge and accepted the proposed consequences by signing the Acceptance of Sanction Form.
