Brigid Kosgei won marathon silver for Kenya at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021
World Athletics has rejected the applications of 11 elite athletes to switch their nationality to Turkey.
The governing body said the requests were "part of a coordinated recruitment strategy" by the country's government "to attract overseas athletes through lucrative contracts".
The 11 athletes included five Kenyans - including former women's marathon world record-holder Brigid Kosgei - four Jamaicans, a Nigerian and Russian.
Roje Stona, who won Olympic men's discus gold for Jamaica in 2024, was also one of the group.
