Kenya will set up National Anti-Doping Organization


Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) will be set up in the near future. The African nation will get support from Anti-Doping Norway and the Chinese Anti-Doping Agency.

 

Following the 17 October publication of the Kenyan Anti-Doping Task Force Report – which explored allegations of widespread doping among Kenyan athletes – WADA, Anti-Doping Norway and the Chinese Anti-Doping Agency met with Kenyan officials in Cape Town to discuss the steps for initiating a new Anti-Doping Organization (ADO) in Kenya. WADA will oversee the comprehensive plan of action for establishing the new NADO – to be named the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) – and Anti-Doping Norway and the Chinese Anti-Doping Agency will provide technical training and guidance throughout the process. Some of the recommendations contained within the Task Force Report will be advanced by Kenya in partnership with WADA.
