Kenya has received a major boost after the Word Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on Thursday night when the delegates declared Kenya compliant to WADA code.
Following a circular vote of its Foundation Board members, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) wishes to announce that it has removed the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) from the list of signatories previously deemed non-compliant with the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code (the Code).
Kenya has drafted and adopted anti-doping legislation now deemed to be in line with the Code.
As stipulated in Article 23.5.5 of the Code, WADA will report the declarations of non-compliance to the Sports Movement and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),” the WADA statement read.
This comes in time as the Rio Olympics 2016 enters third with Kenya team already present ready to take in their opponents both in Rugby and athletics among other competitions.
