What you need to know:

  • Category “A” requires Kenyan athletes to undergo three out-of-competition doping tests 10 months before any World Athletics Championships and Olympic Games
  • ADAK conducted the first of the two education sessions in Eldoret on Tuesday and the second one will take place at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) in Nairobi on Wednesday
  • ADAK’s head of education and research Martin Yauma said that the education series are to bring athletes up to speed on World Athletics rules ahead of the World Championships
