An Olympic runner has been banned from athletics for eight years after testing positive for banned drug Erythropoietin (EPO) — which he claimed was given to him instead of a Covid-19 vaccine in a Kenyan hospital.
Zane Robertson, who is New Zealand’s national record holder for the half and full marathon, is being trolled on Twitter for the alleged lack of integrity of his excuse which was dismissed by his country’s sport tribunal. Robertson has not commented on Instagram or to other media outlets about the ban.
