What you need to know:

  • AK will also invite athletes to attend anti-doping education seminars and webinars, which they are expected to prioritise.
  • Adak's Principal Research and Development officer, Martin Yahuma, confirmed that the agency has established contact with foreign-based athletes for online education sessions and testing.

Kenyan athletes who fail to undergo at least one no-notice out-of-competition doping test by May 24 will be ineligible to compete in the 2025 World Athletics Championships, Athletics Kenya (AK) has warned.

At the same time, Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (Adak) is working diligently to ensure that Kenyan athletes based abroad, particularly in the United States and Japan, meet the stringent anti-doping criteria.
