Athletics Kenya’s ban on two athletes on Thursday came barely a day after various clinics were raided by anti-doping lobbyists.

On Wednesday, Anti-doping Agency of Kenya marshaled forces with the police, Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (KMPDB), Ministry of Sports, Pharmacy and Poisons Board and regional anti-doping organisation raided a chemist in Nairobi’s central business district and Kapsabet town to flash out “conmen and unprofessional doctors from the trade.”
