Officers from the Anti-Dopping Agency of Kenya, CID and the Pharmacy and Poisons Board raided a chemist in Eldoret suspected to be selling banned drugs and substances to athletes. Rugut said an athlete had confessed that he was injected with a banned performance-enhancing substance known as EPO from the Eldo-Sako chemist in the town. Rugut said the athletes consuming such banned substances face criminal charges along with those involved in selling them. A week ago Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago said he would team up with other government agencies to crack down on those selling banned drugs and substances to athletes and other youth.
