Kenya rocked by report

DOPING substances are commonly used across Kenyan sports according to a government report, which found that steroids were given to players on Kenya’s rugby sevens team, footballers are taking stimulants, and stores are selling banned substances to some of the country’s world-beating runners. The report by a task force set up by the government to investigate allegations of doping in Kenyan sport after a recent spike in cases concludes there are no effective anti-doping controls in Kenya. It also fiercely criticized the head of the national athletics federation for not taking doping seriously after he refused to cooperate with the investigation. Athletics Kenya President Isaiah Kiplagat “does not seem to understand the gravity of doping in athletics,” the report said.
