NAIROBI Markelle Fultz 76ers Jersey , Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- An Italian coach charged with administering banned blood booster, Erythropoietin (EPO) on Kenyan disgraced female marathon star, Rita Jeptoo, was on Thursday cleared of the charges by a Nairobi court.


The ruling delivered at the Milimani Law Courts acquitted Italian national, Claudio Berardelli and two co-accused on charges of conspiring to injure the athlete's profession by administering the banned substance.


Barardelli, 37, was charged along with a pharmacist based in Kapsabet, Stephen 'Kalya' Kiplagat Tanui and his assistant coach at the time Daniel Cheribo Kiplangat.


Kiplagat was however, found guilty of running a pharmacy without a name and displayed certificate as well as two other criminal counts.


Jeptoo was banned for four years after failing an out of competition drug test on Sept. 25, 2014 with the 35-year-old testing positive prior to her defence of that year's Chicago Marathon.


At the time, Jeptoo had shot to the top of the female marathon running charts after winning Boston and Chicago Marathons twice to become the first athlete to win four straight victory in the World Marathon Majors circuit.


Athletics Kenya (AK) initially handed her a two-year ban for the offence, but world athletics governing body IAAF appealed to the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) seeking a longer sanction that was granted last year.


On October 26 2016, CAS upheld an appeal from the IAAF against the leniency of the two-year ban given by Athletics Kenya, and instead set a four-year ban, and the annulling of all results from Apr. 17, 2016, including her wins in the 2014 Boston and Chicago Marathons.


CAS found Jeptoo "deceptive and obstructive conduct throughout the proceedings" as aggravating factors justifying the maximum penalty.


Berardelli who has worked in Kenya for over a decade was charged in July last year having been arrested and held in custody for a week and his passport confiscated by Kenyan authorities.

BEIJING, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the 2017 BRICS Games which opened in Guangzhou on Saturday.


The launch of the first BRICS Games marked an important consensus reached by the BRICS leaders at the Goa Summit in 2016.


While noting each BRICS member country has its own distinct strengths in regards to sports, Xi said he believes that the BRICS Games will provide a unique opportunity to improve performance, popularize traditional sports, promote sports development and enhance friendship among peoples.


""I hope athletes on all sides will display true sportsmanship and excel in the Games,"" the president said in the letter.


The BRICS Games features five BRICS member countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, with 10 events up for grabs in three sports - men's basketball, women's volleyball and Wushu.


The 2017 BRICS Games, seen as a prelude to the 2017 BRICS Summit to be held in Xiamen, is a clear indication that economic and sporting development are closely linked.


Xi said that the Xiamen Summit is expected as an opportunity to make new advances in the area of cultural and the people-to-people exchanges and cooperation, which in turn will help cement public support for BRICS cooperation.
