Kenya did pass the anti-doping bill.
The bill sailed through on Tuesday.
It was done with little amendments.

Good news. Kenya now has the toughest anti-doping legislation in the World. Tougher than the US or the UK. Let's wait and see if it gets any publicity.

Who says that? Wada hasn't even decided if it's good enough.

So all the people they catch with their zero testing will go to jail if they test positive.
Sounds tough

Wha wah! You hate Kenya. Sniff sniff. Wouaaa !
I think this says a lot about Africa's approach to anti-doping:
Percentage of WADA's budget contributed by the 5 Olympic regions
Africa: 0.5%
Americas: 29%
Asia: 20.46%
Europe: 47.5%
Oceania: 2.54%
Haha yeah its not like they have anything else they need to spend their money on!
Excuse me sir please can we have some school text books and maybe a new pipe to deliver clean drinking water or even a few doctors so that our children stop dying young?
No sorry - we used that money to pay for drug testing of sports people!!!
(And that's after the officails have already wasted (stolen) insane money on their own personal wealth)

The problem.
Kenya has been asked to provide 4.5 million euro to cover anti-doping costs but they have failed to do so. They have that money, it is a small bill for the government. So where is it? They certainly are not spending it on those in poverty if you think that.
Kenya is not a dust bowl. Ever been to Nairobi?

WADA was informed (co opted or whatever word we may use) all along the process and from my memory, it approved or agreed with or accepted the bill at every stage as it progressed.
i could be wrong.
Yes there may have been a few amendments but the bill is largely what WADA saw during the formulation stage.
Make no mistake.
They still only enforce in-comp and scheduled testing.
No announced out-of-comp testing.
IGF-3 - they go crazy. Not detectable.

Nairobi is just like N'Djamena where you see donkeys literally wallowing in dust (bowls) in the streets.
It is dusty!

Get back to us when the enforcement budget is allocated. And enforcement actually occurs.

If we sent them calculus textbooks, they'd learn about the tangent line though, then beat us even worse.

Once it's signed by the president and becomes law, it's all automatic. We may not be as cash rich as you yanks but we're not Somalia, Iraq, Syria or Libya (all enjoying multiple effects of the USA's foreign policy). Kenya is a functioning nation. We've done our part. Some Kenyans may feel such funds would be better spent on child education or rural healthcare, but that would require parliament to overturn this law.
Now, I'm wondering what you lot will turn to next once you notice Kenyan runners continuing to run rings around your professional trotters. Witchcraft?

Correct, you are not Somalia or those other struggling nations you have mentioned.
So please, as I stated, explain why Africa offers so little to the WADA budget when they have proportionally a large number of runners?
Further, tell us, why does specifically Kenya have an outstanding WADA bill of 4.5 million euro?
And also offer how this law actually increases or improves out of season testing?
Laws are free and relatively easy to make.
What the Kenyan anti-doping scene lacks is MONEY. Money buys tests. No money - no testing.
Yes. Those who've gone to Kenya are well aware of how well the rule of law works there - vis a vis the traffic police and their open palms. Anti-doping legislation will be no different - just another layer of extortion.

Historically Africa has the fewest dopers so those numbers make sense.
