LONDON (Reuters) - Athletics chiefs in Ethiopia are not worried about doping problems in the sport and are dealing with them strongly, a senior official said on Saturday. Ethiopia and Kenya have introduced legislation to criminalise doping. Jos Hermens, who manages many of Ethiopia's elite runners, said doping cases were not as many as had been reported. “Doping cases in Ethiopia were so few, compared to Kenya, but that does not mean they were ignored," he said. Some unscrupulous doctors and pharmacists have been misleading young athletes, but we will soon attack and deal with them,” Gebrselassie added.
