NAIROBI - Kenyan athletes and officials expressed concern on Sept. 13 over the future of their famed running programme, after the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) charged the country with non-compliance.
The Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (Adak) told AFP the issue had to be addressed by the government.
"This is a big issue which is beyond the agency. It can only be addressed by the ministry through the minister of sports," spokeswoman Ann Wairimu said.
"It's definitely something we need to act on quickly, as we only have three weeks to come up with the solution."
Wada on Sept. 11 charged Kenya with non-compliance, starting the clock towards sanctions that could hit the East African athletics powerhouse in October.
