Kenyan middle-distance runner Kipyegon Bett has died of liver and kidney failure at the age of just 26. The former 800m world championship bronze medallist had already been in hospital for several days. 

As his family announced, the 26-year-old had already been in hospital for several days due to his state of health. On Sunday, the 2017 World Championship bronze medallist in the 800 m finally succumbed to liver and kidney failure.

Bett had become U-20 world champion in 2016 and celebrated his greatest career success just one year later with bronze at the World Championships in London. In 2018, the Kenyan was banned for four years after testing positive for EPO and has never really come back since.
