2. The World Anti-Doping Agency has placed Kenya on probation and
the powerhouse of athletics now faces the risk of being declared non-
compliant in a matter of weeks.
In a statement, WADA remarked Kenya would be evaluated by an
independent compliance review committee and thereafter make a
recommendation to its board. The WADA statement added we have
not yet received the details and not even the assurances we need from
Kenya and, therefore, this is now a matter for our independent
compliance process. The anti-doping agency also said it was
“extremely troubled” by reports that two athletes of the country were
asked to pay bribes in return for a reduction of their doping
suspensions. The 400m runner Joy Sakari and the hurdler Francisca
Koki Manunga recently alleged that Isaac Mwangi, Athletics Kenya
chief, asked for a $24,000 payment in return for a reduction of their
bans of four years but they could not raise the money.

3. There is however still a possibility that the country could
get another deadline and a final opportunity to honor
commitments that Kenya made to the anti-doping agency
in the context of its anti-doping program. WADA is
expecting a decision over the status of Kenya in a few
weeks.
The African nation is presently investigated for failure of
the Kenyan government to establish and fund a national
anti-doping agency and its failure to finalize new anti-
doping legislation. The East African country may escape
punishment on its athletes from competing internationally
but this would be a major embarrassment for Kenya that
has been facing severe scrutiny for its doping record.
