Daniel Sangjib Min/Richmond Times-Dispatch
Lilian Mariita, of Kenya, wins the women’s division of a
half-marathon in Richmond, Va., in 2014. The 27-year-old’s
racing career is over, and now she is back at square one:
in Nyaramba, the muddy tea-plantation village in western
Kenya she thought she’d escaped in 2011, when she left
for the promise of a new life pounding American roads.

Runner Peter Kemboi stands beside a wall of trophies earned
by runners working with race agent Larisa Mikhaylova, at
the group’s boarding house in Newport, Ky. The Internation-
al Association of Athletics Federations, working with the
U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, is investigating multiple groups of
athletes and agents based in the United States and Mexico,
including Mikhaylova’s that has won tens of thousands of
dollars from races across the American Midwest but also
become notorious for a rash of doping positives.
