The National Olympic Committee of Kenya on Wednesday rallied behind government's efforts to fend off falsehoods aimed at maligning Kenyan athletes. Amina pointed out the allegations were a well-orchestrated move aimed at portraying Kenyan athletes negatively in the eyes of the world. “We can trace this trend to the eve of the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games, 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the 2017 IAAF World Championships in London, 2019 World Athletic Championships in Doha,” observed Amina. He echoed Amina's sentiments that the allegations were indeed orchestrated to disparage Kenya’s global standing and reputation in sports performance and leadership in the global anti-doping efforts. the President Uhuru Kenyattta also signed into law the Anti-Doping Amendment Act (2020), further underscoring Kenya’s commitment to anti-doping efforts."
