Kenya’s Anti-Doping Agency (ADAK)

Kenya led the world in track and field doping failures in 2024, with 119 athletes and personnel suspended or banned, followed by India and Russia. High-profile Kenyan athletes like Michael Saruni and Beatrice Toroitich faced multi-year and lifetime bans for various doping violations. Despite intensified testing and stricter enforcement, doping remains a significant challenge for Kenya’s athletics community. Meanwhile, other countries including India, Russia, and the United States continue to grapple with their own doping cases, highlighting the ongoing global fight to preserve the integrity of the sport.
