The career of long- and middle-distance runner Zane Robertson has reached the finish line. After culminating in competing twice at the Olympic Games, in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, it looks like he's gone off track and possibly off the rails.

Robertson, who was suspended from action for eight years in March after obstructing a drug test, was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of sexual assault while in Kenya's capital, Nairobi.
