Kip Keino says WADA "seriously considering" banning Kenya from 2016 Rio Olympics and all competition for 4years.
Personally, I think the odds of this are slim to none and slim just left town.

If only the decision makers at Wada weren't the sports federations.
That would be ironic given that PEDs don't work on Kenyans.
if that were the case, then the Jamaicans, the Moroccans, and the americans should all be banned as well.

You don't understand. They are not banning them for cheating but for poor attempts at stopping cheating.

Not as ironic as the Euro countries all being given a free-pass.
hah - can you imagine the racial/colonial/inequality carpstorm banning kenya would bring?
For Kenya to be banned they'd have to find the nation's prime minister sneaking EPO packets back from Russia in the diplomatic pouch, and maybe having a Bond-style underground drug lab, complete with monorails and lasersharks.
Kenya has no Prime Minister.
NOw, president may be.

Unlikely to happen but the threat is appropriate because Kenya has been dragging its feet for years even after being given money.
Welp, so much for their Olympic marathon trials . . .

-Again, Jamaicans, Americans, and Moroccans. I understand perfectly well.
