Kenya faces fresh anti-doping crisis following surprise Wada move

Exclusive by Dan Roan
BBC sports editor

12 May 2016 Athletics

Kenya is set to be declared in breach of global anti-doping rules, the BBC has learned.

The surprise move will mean some of the world's top athletes are at risk of missing August's Olympic Games in Rio.

Kenya, one of the major forces in world athletics, has already missed two World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) deadlines to show it is tackling cheating in sport.

Now Wada is expected to rule the country 'non-compliant' when its board meets in Montreal on Thursday.

After a series of drugs and corruption scandals, Kenya had been warned to comply with Wada's rules or face sanctions.

...has better things to spend its money on than drug testing its athletes. If testing's so important, WADA should pay for it themselves.
This sounds like a shakedown.
