The chicken are coming home roost, literally, for Kenyan athletics. No matter how long this great sporting nation will bury her head in the sand, the citing of Olympic Marathon champion Jemimah Sumgong to have tested for EPO, poignantly shows it his high noon for athletics in Kenya.

When the news broke yesterday, Standard Sports reached out to Sumgong’s manager, Federico Rosa of Rosa Associati, and he had this to say: “At the moment, the only comment I can give you if the news will be confirmed will really be a dramatic moment for Kenya and for all our sport. But even if we are far, it is a clear and important move against doping.”
