Asbel Kiprop, a distance runner from Kenya whose resume includes three world championships and an Olympic gold medal, tested positive for a banned substance. But Kiprop claims his sample was contaminated and that he was extorted. WBUR's Shira Springer sees the controversy as another example of corruption in sports.
