"The results of the analysis of the B sample which was
conducted on 17th to 19th December 2014 at the WADA (World
Anti-Doping Agency} accredited laboratory of Lausanne confirmed
the finding of the A sample," Athletics Kenya said in a
statement on Friday.
Jeptoo, provisionally suspended from athletics after the A
sample tested positive, had asked for a B check. She told
reporters at the time that the accusation was false.
Dozens of Kenyan athletes have failed doping tests in the past
two years.
Government officials have blamed the growing amount of cases on
foreign agents and Athletics Kenya's failure to educate its
sportsmen and women properly.
The country's triple world 3,000 meters steeplechase champion
Moses Kiptanui has called for tough sanctions against those who
fail doping tests, saying "big money" was behind the cheating.
