ROAD RACING

DOPING: Boston Marathon winner Diana Kipyokei of Kenya was suspended on Friday after testing positive for doping at the race and allegedly obstructing an investigation.

The Athletics Integrity Unit said Kipyokei’s sample after winning in October last year had traces of triamcinolone acetonide. It is a glucocorticoid prohibited at races when an athlete does not have permission to use it as a medication.

The case has deepened suspicions the substance is a doping product of choice for athletes from Kenya.

The AIU said 10 Kenyans have tested positive for triamcinolone since the start of 2021, with only two cases in athletics from the entire rest of the world in the same period.

In a second triamcinolone case revealed on Friday, Kenyan marathon runner Betty Wilson Lempus was also suspended while under investigation for doping and tampering.

Kipyokei is also under investigation for “obstructing or delaying the AIU’s investigation through the provision of false information or documentation.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL: SWAC members Grambling State and Southern have been invited to play in the second NBA HBCU Classic at this season’s All-Star weekend in Salt Lake City.

The Feb. 18 game, which will precede All-Star Saturday night’s lineup featuring the NBA’s dunk contest, 3-point shootout and skills competition, will be shown on TNT, ESPN2 and NBA TV.

Last season’s inaugural game in Cleveland between Howard and Morgan State netted both schools $100,000 donations. Over the last two All-Star weekends, about $4 million has been raised to support students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and scholarship funds such as the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and United Negro College Fund.

SOCCER

PREMIER LEAGUE: England midfielder Phil Foden has signed a contract extension with Manchester City to 2027.

Foden’s previous deal was to expire in 2024 but the Premier League champion moved to secure its home-grown talent for longer.

He is the star graduate of City’s celebrated academy, which has become one of the most successful in world soccer.

Foden has seven goals in 13 games, including a hat trick in the 6-3 win against Manchester United this month.

PGA TOUR: Rickie Fowler and Andrew Putnam were tied with a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Zozo Championship in Inzia City, Japan, where scores were low with drier conditions after rain in the first round.

Putnam had an 8-under 62 and Fowler was in at 63, putting both Americans at 10-under after two rounds at the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club on the outskirts of Tokyo.

The low round with a 61 – and a course record – went to John Huh. The American was two strokes off the pace.

EUROPEAN TOUR: Ángel Hidalgo shot an 8-under 63 to grab part of a three-way lead of the Andalucía Masters in Sotogrande, Spain after two rounds.

LIV GOLF: Brooks Koepka took a two-shot lead at the LIV Golf Invitational-Jeddah in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia after an 8-under 62 in the first round, matching the lowest score on the breakaway tour that has torn the world of golf in two.

The American made eight birdies during an error-free round at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City. His 62 equalled the lowest score this season after Lee Westwood hit the mark at Boston in September.

Koepka, a former top-ranked player and four-time major winner, was trailed by Charl Schwartzel at 6 under. Hideto Tanihara, Peter Uihlein and Patrick Reed were a further stroke back.
