The Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya, ADAK, has reitarated its commitment to strengthening the fight against doping in sports.
The anti Doping Agency in a move to rally federations in the fight for clean-sport is holding a two day seminar that has brought together representatives from 30 sports federations with key focus being to share the knowledge required to the athletes on staying off cheating.
The seminar, taking place in Nairobi, is part of ADAK’s continued efforts to promote integrity and fair play in Kenyan sports.
Officials say the focus is on building a strong foundation of awareness and education, starting with the federations and filtering down to the grassroots level.
Over the two days, federation leaders will be taken through modules on anti-doping rules, the dangers of banned substances, and ethical sportsmanship.
Once the seminar concludes, each federation is expected to roll out localized training and awareness campaigns in their regions.
Kenya has had its fare share of doping violations with a number of both high and low profile athletes facing sanctions. ADAK says education and early intervention are key to safeguarding the future of sport.
