There was a great sigh of relief when it was announced that Kenya would be allowed to compete in the Rio Olympic Games after all, even though it had failed to fully comply with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code.
It was noted that although Kenya had enacted legislation outlawing doping, some technical provisions of the Anti-Doping Act 2016 passed by the National Assembly, were inconsistent with the WADA anti-doping code. Because of these inconsistencies, WADA declared Kenya non-compliant and recommended that the country be withdrawn from the Olympics.
