ELDORET, Kenya (Reuters) - Kenyan two-time world marathon champion Edna Kiplagat wants $1 million dollars (693,783 pound) to be retrospectively awarded to her as the rivals who pipped her to two lucrative World Marathon Majors series titles have since been banned for doping.
Russia’s Liliya Shobukhova beat Kiplagat to scoop the $500,00 series jackpot in 2010/2011, and the Kenyan runner finished second in the rankings to compatriot Rita Jeptoo in 2013/2014. Both women were later suspended for doping.
