The International Association of Athletics Federation has provisionally suspended the president of Kenyan athletics.
Isaiah Kiplagat is among three officials who have been sanctioned by world athletics' governing body.
It relates to the "potential subversion of the anti-doping control process in Kenya" and "potential improper diversion from Athletics Kenya of funds received from Nike" according to a statement by the IAAF Ethics Commission.
The IAAF announced the decision on their website.
"The independent IAAF Ethics Commission has announced the provisional suspension of Mr Isaiah Kiplagat, Mr David Okeyo and Mr Joseph Kinyua from any IAAF or Athletics Kenya position pending investigation of complaints made against them and evidence and information which has been received by the IAAF Ethics Commission.
"This provisional suspension, which is made in the interests of the integrity of the sport, is for a period of 180 days and is effective, and was made public by the Ethics Commission, at 1500hrs GMT on Monday 30 November 2015."
