In an exclusive to RunBlogRun, trusted sources have confirmed that, at the end of September 2014, Rita Jeptoo tested positive in her A sample test for a banned substance in an out of competition testing. The out of competition testing procedure was done in Kenya. The testing was done by a urine sample. 

Following this test, Rita Jeptoo won the 2014 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, defending her title. 

In such situations, and per WADA rules, a B sample of the athlete must be tested, and the representative of said athlete, or athlete may be in attendance. The B sample has not been tested at this time. 

This situation creates a conundrum for the World Marathon Majors, who are holding their awards ceremony for the 2013-2014 male and female winners of the WMM series this weekend. 

What makes this situation even more challenging is the current issue that has evolved with Liliya Shobukhova, a former two-time World Marathon Majors Series winner, who is facing unresolved issues regarding athlete biological passport tests.
