Written byNairobi: Ethiopian running legend Haile Gebrselassie has called upon athletes to shun doping and compete with a clean slate. Kenya has had 43 doping cases confirmed in the last three years. They were initiated by former world marathon record holder Paul Tergat in 2004. Tergat said the occasion is the finest moment in the sporting calendar in Kenya because it rewards success. "During our time, Gebrselassie and I competed fairly when there were no underhand dealings and when sport was sport," the SOYA founder remarked.
