Coe described meeting President William Ruto Thursday at State House, Nairobi as the most crucial and important moment that affirmed the country’s commitment to the war against doping
Coe warned that plans are always fine and dandy on the table but the task now is for all to implement, monitor and make sure that they are making the right progress
Coe explained that the meeting with Namwamba on Wednesday gave him enough time to understand the commitment across governmental departments after the retreat that took place in December
Kenya should be ready to suffer the short term embarrassment of increased positive tests and win the war against doping than enjoy a long term decline and reputational damage of the sport both domestically and internationally.
World Athletics President Sebastian Coe Thursday noted that it is inevitable that the extra resourcing, testing and intelligence level that the government of Kenya has brought on board in the war on doping will see the number of positive cases rising.
