China to help Kenya fight doping

KENYA has partnered with Chinese and Norwegian anti-doping agencies to help root out drugs cheats in the east African country famous for its middle and long-distance runners.

Kenya’s Sports Cabinet Secretary Hassan Wario said Chinese and Norwegian agencies will help the newly-formed Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya once it becomes operational on February 1.

“Chinese and Norwegian agencies have a lot of experience and resources that will be useful in the fight against doping as we establish ourselves,” he said. “They will look at our legislation, policy, education program and advise us accordingly.”

Kenya, which has blamed foreign agents for leading athletes into using performance enhancing drugs, has long been accused of not taking measures to deal with a growing number of doping cases.
