World U20 5000m bronze mdallist, Prisca Chesang of Uganda has been suspended by Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) for the Presence/Use of a Prohibited Substance (Furosemide), which is a violation of the World Anti-doping rules.
The 20 year-old became the fourth female runner to win for Uganda a medal at the junior championship after Peruth Chemutai (2018), Annet Negesa (2010) and Dorcus Inzikuru (2000) at the 2021 World Athletics U20 Championships held in Nairobi and in Cali last year.
Chesang has been charged under the Article 2.1 and Article 2.2 of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and has been issued with a Charge Notice by AIU.
