Cosmas Ndeti (born 24 November 1971) is a three-time winner of the

best marathon performance in 1994.[1] That course record stood for 12 years until it was broken by one second when Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot
, a fellow Kenyan, won the 2006 race.

He received a three-month ban for doping, after failing a test for ephedrine at the 1988 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. This made him the first doping ban case in Kenyan history.[2]
