By ELIAS MAKORIMore by this AuthorAthletes suspended for doping offences will not be allowed to compete both locally and internationally after they complete their sentences, Athletics Kenya (AK) has said. In a move aimed at tightening the grip on drug cheats and deterring would-be offenders, AK also say they are considering withdrawing passports of athletes sanctioned for the use of banned performance-enhancing substances. But Tuwei said despite the increasing numbers, the association will not relent in their war against doping in Kenya. “We have developed a rule in AK that athletes who have been caught doping and who have served suspensions will not be allowed to compete in both local and international competitions after completing their bans,” Tuwei said. Tuwei said the athletes so far busted for doping have shamed the nation and betrayed the government’s trust in them.
