Her defence also argued the nature of her ailment "was considered a taboo in her culture and that she feared if she had another ectopic pregnancy it would leave her barren, make her dejected in society and lead to her husband taking on another wife."
Retired athlete and husband, Noah Talam, was Sumgong's coach with the couple shockingly opting not to declare the said hospital visit to KNH on the Doping Control Form dated Feb. 28 as the samples that returned Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) being the presence of prohibited substance rEPO were collected.
KNH however, acknowledged that Sumgong had visited the Accident and Emergency unit on April 18 almost two months after being alerted of her failed test to see a second opinion concerning treatment for ectopic pregnancy in connection with a surgery that she underwent in Rwanda in 2009.
"However, as this visit was not a medical emergency, the athlete had been advised to seek a follow-up through the hospital's gynaecology outpatient clinic and had therefore, not been prescribed any medication or undergone any procedure on this occasion.
"The hospital has no further record of the athlete attending the facility," the verdict stated as the Tribunal ruled the Feb. 22 letter from KNH as fake.
Sumgong, who was cleared of another doping violation offence in 2017 following the intervention of world governing body IAAF, sought a reduced ban after accepting her provisional suspension.
