Kenyan long-distance runner Emmanuel Kiprop Kipruto has been suspended from athletics by the World Athletics’ Representatives Panel due to a contractual dispute. The suspension is immediate and will remain in effect until he complies with the Panel’s order.

• The suspension stems from Kipruto's failure to provide contractual documentation and earnings breakdown related to his employment with a Japanese club.
• The Athletes' Representative Panel also ordered Kipruto to reimburse expenses paid on his behalf by his Athlete Representative.
• Failure to reimburse the expenses by the set deadline will result in an automatic suspension until the reimbursement is made, independent of the disclosure requirement.
