Athletics Kenya (AK) Youth and Development director Barnaba Korir has called upon the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) to impose stricter punishment to athletes found doping as Kenya continues to fight against the vice.

Up to 30 elite Kenyan athletes have been suspended or banned from competing this year alone, raising fears among stakeholders that the vice was getting out of hand.
