What you need to know:

  • AIU chief executive officer Brett Clothier said that there is a huge code of silence by virtually all Kenya’s athletes who have been banned for doping out of fear of criminals involved in the doping set-up
  • Clothier said that his Steering Committee doping report that was presented to Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba on Friday has come out with structures and programs that will protect whistleblowers
  • Mueke, who was accompanied by the new Sports Chief Administrative Secretary Wesley Korir, said the report will be released to the public immediately Namwamba returns to the office next week

Athletes Integrity Unit (AIU) has said that lack of structures to protect whistleblowers and Kenya’s unique and uncontrolled huge road running base form the base for the increasing doping cases.
