Sports Cabinet Secretary Hassan Wario has come to the defence of Athletics Kenya (AK), who suspended foreign agencies Rosa Associati, run by an Italian, Gabriele Rosa, and Volare Sports, run by the Dutchman Gerard van de Veen.
The two were suspended for six months pending investigations into a spate of doping cases involving Kenyan athletes. This comes barely a day after a Kenyan athletes’ meeting held in Eldoret, questioned the motive behind the duo’s ban and vowed to continue working with their Italian and Dutch managers.
However, in an interview with FeverPitch on the sidelines of the British-American Investment Company’s branding rights for Nyayo Stadium National Stadium, yesterday, Wario said with the establishment of the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK), they will not relent in their war against doping.
