Kenya's 1,500m Three-Time World Champion Asbel Kiprop Caught on Camera Groping Married Woman

A video of controversial three-time 1,500m World Champion Asbel Kiprop groping a married woman in a car has gone viral on social media.

This comes a few months after he was caught up in a doping saga where he was accused of using banned blood-booster EPO.

In the video widely circulated online, the two are seen dancing to a Kalenjin song and then slowly start kissing.

The woman with her top fully unbuttoned and exposing her bra has been identified as Nancy Chepsiya, a former MCA aspirant in Eldoret who is apparently married.

Taking to social media, Kiprop said the woman has cost him his family and career. Contacted by a local station for a comment, the athlete said the woman moves around with “many people I can’t mention, elite names.”

In May, International Athletics Association Federation (IAAF) said it had found a banned energy-enhancing drug in Kiprop’s urine sample, allegations the runner denied.

“I have been left to fight this on my own. I have had no support even from my fellow athletes, some who have questioned my integrity in public. One day, the whole truth will come out and I will be proven innocent,” he said before announcing his retirement from athletics.
