Athletics Integrity Unit
The Athletics Integrity Unit was founded by the International Association of Athletics Federations in April 2017 to combat doping in the sport of athletics. The unit functions fully independently from the IAAF. It is currently led by head Brett Clothier.
The organization collected more than 600 blood samples prior to the 2017 World Championships in Athletics.The AIU was the first official source to confirm Asbel Kiprop's positive test for the banned substance EPO in May 2018. They affirmed the validity of the test despite accusations of a tampered sample.
