Athletics Kenya’s anti-doping seminar is timely as it comes at a time when Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has set new rules to fight doping menace. There are rising cases of drug cheats among Kenyan athletes and it is high time we reined in the cheats who are giving Kenya a bad name. Under the new rules, national federations are categorised annually by the AIU board in three different categories — A, B and C.
