Athletics Kenya (AK) Nyanza South Chairman, Peter Angwenyi, says the only way to win the war against doping in Kenya is by criminalising the vice. “The measures being taken by Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya are welcome but we need stiffer penalties to deter doping because it’s getting out hand,” said Angwenyi. “Dopers who work in the Kenya Defence Forces, Kenya Police, Kenya Prisons or any government institution should lose their jobs if found guilty of doping,” he added. Most Kenyan athletes run clean but we have a few rotten apples who taint our image. More than 60 Kenyan athletes have been banned for using performance-enhancing substances in the last five years.
