Sport and drugs : a critical analysis of the legal framework on doping in Kenya / Silicho Simiyu Soita. - Nairobi : Strathmore University, 2017. - Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Bachelor of Law Degree, Strathmore University Law School
Abstract:
Doping has been inadequately provided for in law, policy and practice in Kenya over a long period of time. Proliferation of doping cases among Kenyan athletes raised doubts over the ability of the Kenyan legal framework on anti-doping to regulate the use of performance enhancing substances. This resulted into a sanction by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
This study seeks to critically analyse the Kenyan legal framework on doping and assess its suitability to curb the number of doping incidences among Kenyan athletes. Among the issues to be considered include: the sufficiency and efficiency of existing Kenyan anti-doping laws, factors impeding the application of these laws and finally recommendations to improve their applicability and efficiency.
