- How many Kenyan athletes are serving doping-related sanctions?
- Indeed, at least 53 Kenyans athletes are currently serving doping-related sanctions (Athletics Integrity Unit, 2022). While cases of doping violations among Kenyan athletes have been rising significantly, research on doping, and even sport supplement use, and Kenyan athletes has been sparse.
- Are Kenyan athletes at a risk of doping?
- Discussion Kenyan athletes, particularly in athletics (WADA, 2018), are at a significant risk of doping. Yet few research studies have focused on Kenyan athletes and the factors that may drive and prevent doping.
- Do Kenyan athletes have a role in anti-doping programs?
- Yet few research studies have focused on Kenyan athletes and the factors that may drive and prevent doping. Education has been identified as a central pillar for anti-doping programming and with the launch of the ISE, signatories of the Code will be required to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate their education programs.
- Does Kenya have enough information on doping?
- For his part, Kimeli opined that “In Kenya, the only people who I know have adequate information on doping are the ones who have good competition times”. Additionally, Mutua was convinced that “They (ADAK) are not doing enough because they are concentrating on the elite athletes”.
- Do Kenyan runners know about doping?
- In a doctoral dissertation on Kenyan national and international level middle and long distance runners, Chebet (2014) reported that athletes’ knowledge of doping was below average. Knowledge was assessed using a 16-question true/false/do not know format with mean scores below 50%, which would suggest knowledge was quite poor.
- Did Adak and Athletics Kenya limit anti-doping education to elite athletes?
- Moreover, several athletes complained that ADAK and Athletics Kenya (AK) limited anti-doping education to elite athletes only. Kimeli and Otieno explained that only elite athletes like themselves had unfettered access to education, such as detailed workshops, while other levels of athletes had to make do with the outreach sessions.
