Pharmacists in the North Rift region want to be involved in the fight against doping, a menace that has put Kenya's reputation in athletics on the line.

The pharmacists, through the Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya, just like the Kenya Pharmacy and Poisonous Board (KMPDU), should be recognised as a central stakeholder in anti-doping.
