Cosmas Ndeti
Cosmas Ndeti (born 24 November 1971) is a three-time winner of the Boston Marathon. He was the winner of the 1993, 1994, and 1995 races.

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.
