Provisionally suspended since 2018, it has been punished with four years and can't defend his title at the Olympics Tokyo 2020 (July 24-August 9), although you can appeal the decision.

Do not lose the Olympic title

De 23 years and born in Kenya, Jebet had stood out especially in 2016 by taking the  Olympic title in Rio de Janeiro and later getting a new world record in Paris (8:52:78), then pulverized by Kenyan Beatrice Chepkoech (8: 33.32) in July 2018.
