Kenya’s Sports Minister to head to Canada for WADA talks over non-compliance ruling
Kenya’s Sports Minister Hassan Wario will travel to Canada for urgent talks with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) after it declared the country to be in breach of global anti-doping rules.
The minister will be accompanied by other sports officials for the talks with WADA.
Warrio made the announcement after a lengthy meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He said WADA’s decision was regrettable but maintained that the government would work to ensure the country’s sport is drug-free and that Kenyan athletes are able to take part in Rio Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said there could be a number of reasons for the non-compliance ruling.
