- 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.
