The Kenyan government has agreed to give additional funding to a special taskforce probing doping allegations amid renewed pressure from the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada), said Sports Minister Hassan Wario.
NAIROBI: The investigations started late last year but then stalled due to lack of funds, again raising the prospect of Wada sanctions against the distance-running powerhouse. But Wario said the government had agreed to bankroll the probe and that a final report on their findings would be published before the end of March. “We cannot start something and leave it halfway,” said Wario. “This is a very important task, and it was my ministry during my time that initiated it.”
