Interesting that it's the Kenyans themselves who are doing this.

It's the key difference that is keeping Kenya this side of the Russia line - the doping is clearly as systemic as in russia, maybe even a little worse. But the state and authorities are not actively in on the deal; they are trying to get a grip on it...and as cycling showed, the first stages of getting a grip can look pretty awful - but are still better than ignorance. The important thing is that Kenya doesn't backslide in the face of dreadful headlines.

Kenya is too chaotic a country to run a proper state sponsored doping regime and cover it well.

Seems like it would be more effective than EPO.
