Nairobi (AFP) - Italian sports agent Federico Rosa, who managed disgraced former marathon star Rita Jeptoo, was on Thursday charged in a Kenya court with doping offences.
Federico, who is a director of Italy-based sports management company Rosa and Associati, denied six counts of doping athletes, including Jeptoo who was banned for two years in 2014 after testing positive for the blood-boosting drug EPO.
