Kenyan sprinter Ferdinand Omanyala has challenged Athletics Kenya’s Executive Committee’s decision to bar any athlete who has served a doping ban from ever representing the country by filing a case at the Sports Dispute Tribunal (SDT).

In his battle against AK and its Executive Committee decision, Omanyala wants the SDT to order the national athletics’ governing body to suspend the policy and allow him to continue representing the country at various international events.
