Three officials of the World's Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) are expected in Kenya on Monday to begin audit of the country's anti-doping programme. The Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) was formed in January 2015, but its laws only came into force in June this year after it was declared compliant of the WADA codes But Adak's integrity was called into question when two Kenyan track and field officials were caught up in two separate doping scandals at the Rio Olympics and were sent home from the games.
"The officials who include Rodney Swigelaar, WADA's Africa office director and Tom May, a member of WADA's Education and Development will carry out the audit to find out if ADAK has been conducting the doping tests, and carrying out sensitisation and education among the athletes," a top ADAK official, who requested anonymity told AFP.
