Kenyan police probe Italian athlete managers for potential doping links
Authorities search hotel rooms and question 2 male agents
Kenyan police investigating doping searched the hotel rooms of two Italian athlete managers during the Kenyan Olympic trials and questioned the two men at police headquarters on Monday.
The agents, Federico Rosa and his father, Gabriele, represent a number of top Kenyan athletes and previously represented marathon runner Rita Jeptoo, one of the highest-profile Kenyans to be banned for doping.
Federico Rosa told The Associated Press that police "never found anything" when they searched their rooms on Friday in Eldoret, Kenya, where the trials were held.
He said he was unsure what the investigation was about, adding he and his father have been asked to remain in Kenya and will find out Tuesday if they are needed for more questioning. The athletic manager said that he and his father were not placed under arrest.
