Rhonex Kipruto (born 12 October 1999)[1] is a Kenyan long-distance runner. Kipruto won the bronze medal in the 10,000 metres at the 2019 World Athletics Championships and was the world record holder for the 10 km road race, until he was stripped of both titles in June 2024 due to “a deliberate and sophisticated doping regime”.[2][3] Prior to his result being annulled, Kipruto placed third on the half marathon world all-time list.[4]
Kipruto was the 2018 World Under-20 10,000 m champion.[5]
On 17 May 2023, Kipruto was provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit for the use of a prohibited substance/method from his athlete biological passport (ABP) data.[6][7] On 5 June 2024, the AIU announced that he had been banned for six years.[3]
