Video shows Kenya's uphill task in war against doping ahead of Rio Olympics


The video shows syringes and medication found in athletes’ rooms and in the trash, most of it erythropoietin (EPO) used in doping. A German television channel ARD and The Sunday Times on Sunday released a secret tapings of how some Kenyan athletes use drugs that enhance their performance in races. In a shocking revelation, the crew travelled to a pharmacist with an athlete and EPO is purchased within minutes. An athlete also takes them to his doctor, who claims he has treated more than 50 athletes with EPO, three of them British. The revelations are likely to raise suspicion and skeptism as the country sends representatives to Rio Olympics.
