The Ethiopian Athletics Federation president has vowed to work with Kenya to fight doping in their countries. He said Ethiopia will impose lifetime bans on drug cheats and that Kenya and Ethiopia must tackle doping to protect their credibility and success in athletics. Kenya in particular has had success in long-distance running over the last decade but also many cases of doping, with around 40 Kenyan athletes testing positive since 2012 including marathon winner Rita Jeptoo.
