Song and dance as World Anti-Doping Agency boss comes calling

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) President Witold Banka arrived yesterday to evaluate Kenya's ongoing reforms on anti-doping.

Banka, who arrived yesterday morning, is expected to review the anti-doping framework being put in place by the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) to strengthen Kenya's relationship with WADA.

The Polish, who took over the helm at WADA in 2020 and is currently serving his final term, will also discuss and assess corrective audit measures following prior recommendations placed on Kenya by the global body last year.

"It's my first time in the country, Kenya, the home of champions. It's a beautiful nation."

"I hope the next two days will be fruitful as we dwell on issues meant to strengthen the fight against doping in the country," Banka said yesterday.

"We want all athletes, including Kenyan participants, to compete on a level playing field across the globe. I believe this is possible in Kenya with support of the State and Adak," Banka said.
