The life struggles of former 1500m world champion Asbel Kiprop seem to moving from bad to worse.

The veteran athlete on Saturday urged the National Police Service (NPS) to sack and disarm him.

A distressed Kiprop threatened to use his gun to ‘earn himself justice’ via a Facebook post.

Sources have now intimated to Game Yetu that NPC and fellow athletes are now tracking down Kiprop to ensure things don’t get out of hand.

A frustrated Kiprop also asked the world athletics governing body, International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), to take back all the medals he has ever won.

“I pray to National Police Service to dismiss me Now. Before I use their machinery to earn myself Justice. Kindly IAAF come take your medals. I don’t need any on my house wall,” Kiprop posted.
