  • Does Kenya have a National Anti-Doping Agency?
  • Kenya only established a national anti-doping agency in 2016, an eye opener considering it has been the dominant force in distance running for decades and has won the second-most medals across the board in the history of the worlds behind the United States.
  • Is doping endemic in Kenya?
  • The issue reached a head last November, when an outright ban for the country was on the table before the Kenyan government committed another $5 million a year for the next five years to fight doping, and publicly accepted the problem was endemic and not, as it said for years, the work of a few rogue foreign coaches and agents.
  • How much did Kenya commit to anti-doping?
  • Before this year, Kenya had committed $2.5 million a year to anti-doping, Clothier said, not nearly enough. There were only 38 athletes in Kenya’s national doping testing pool last year, a miniscule amount. There will be 300 this year, Clothier said.
  • Is there a temptation to dope in Kenya?
  • In Kenya, there’s “a temptation to dope that’s like no other part of our sport, not even close,” said Brett Clothier, the head of the Athletics Integrity Unit, the independent body set up in 2017 to oversee international track and field’s anti-doping operations and which has been kept very busy by Kenya.
