World Anti-Doping Agency's recommended Kenya to be declared non-compliant with the WADA code
12th May, 2016
The World Anti-Doping Agency's compliance review committee has unanimously recommended that Kenya should be declared non-compliant with the WADA code with immediate effect. The surprise move could lead to Kenyan athletes missing August’s Rio Olympics if the International Olympic Committee (IOC) so deems. According to WADA, the compliance review committee cited issues with Kenya’s new legislation which it says is not in line with the WADA code. Only the IOC can ban a sport or country from the Olympics.
