Three-time World 1,500 metres champion Asbel Kiprop opened up on a video clip of him kissing a woman in his car which was circulated online on Monday.
Kiprop, who is a decorated athlete, accused the woman in the video of destroying his family and career.
The 1,500 metres Olympian who is a police officer stated: “I have lost everything. What else can I lose?”
A close friend of Kiprop who spoke to the Nation alleged that the woman appearing in the video was the wife of a close friend of the champion.
The friend stated: “He has been bitter with his friend and constantly accuses him of taking everything from him. He accused the friend of causing him pain, stating a purported love triangle cost him a career.”
He added that since the funeral service of Mr Nicholas Bett, another world champion who died in road accident weeks ago, Mr Kiprop has been exhibiting symptoms of depression.
“Kiprop has taken to the bottle. He has been drinking from Sunday. I am not sure if he is the one who posted the videos on Facebook. If he did, he must have been drunk,” the friend, also an athlete, remarked.
On the comments section of the video, Kiprop’s wife wished the two a happy life and although the post was later pulled down, netizens had already taken screenshots.
Since the announcement of the doping results, Kiprop has been making comments on social media, insinuating that he was sabotaged.
The 1,500 meters 2008 Olympian claimed to have been offered an IAAF ambassadorial role if he admitted to using banned substances.
