Is that because the system isn't working or because the system is finally working properly though?

That’s a great question. Though, I’d say regardless of the answer, Kenya still needs to face sanctions because the number of positive tests amongst their athletes suggests they have a major problem.

Of course the big difference was the allegation that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency and the government was protecting their athletes.

That hasn't happened in Kenya. At least not yet.

Turning their eyes away is just the same as sponsoring.

it's because their "gurus" dr. Canova and dr. Rosa now have gone mainly to Uganda (no surprise they're the rising powerhouse)...

 

now the Kenians don't have their "political safety net" in place anymore and get caught like apples from the tree...
