Kenyan media had previously reported that the two athletes tested positive after their heats. Zakary is the Kenyan record holder over 400 meters, to their semi-final race she entered on Tuesday no longer without giving reasons. Manunga was over 400 meters hurdles at the Second African Championships. In Beijing they are already retired after the heats.
