Kenya, recently accused of large-scale doping by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), unveiled a plan to combat the scourge on Thursday. More than 3,000 tests per year are planned on athletes, compared to about 1,000 today.
This information was given by a committee consisting of representatives of the Kenyan Athletics Federation. But also the National Anti-Doping Agency (Adak). There is still the local Kenyan Ministry of Sports and the AIU. This independent body has been dealing with doping and integrity issues in athletics since 2017.
"The immediate strategic priority is to increase Adak's capacity to test more athletes outside of competitions," it said in a statement. There is a major structural flaw in the current organization and it needs to be corrected."
