Kelvin Kiptum: Four men who visited home before car crash questioned by police

The Telegraph  

Police have questioned four men who came looking for marathon record holder Kelvin Kiptum at his home in Kenya in the days before his fatal car crash. Police said the four men had been sent by a Chinese company with whom the London Marathon champion had a 45 million Kenyan Shilling contract amid an alleged dispute ahead of his bid to become the first man to break the two-hour barrier. “Therefore, they were aggrieved and sent the four men to negotiate whether they could be compensated or whether they would be given another opportunity to supply Kiptum equipment for the forthcoming Rotterdam race slated for April 2024.” A lawyer for the quartet, Kipyegon Lagat, also disputed Cheruiyot’s claim that the four men were strangers who had refused to identify themselves. Rotich earlier told Citizen TV she had warned her husband he “trained too much” trying to become the first person to break the two-hour barrier in an official race at April’s Rotterdam Marathon.
