I have a friend in Iten who is pretty well connected. There isn't anything going on like there was in Russia but he tells me there is a tremendous amount of corruption that goes very high up, i.e, "important" people getting cuts of what athletes win. He's a journalist and once thought about exposing it but let it go because he thought he what he would most likely accomplish would be getting himself killed.
I thought Kenya's doping problem was incredibly rampant private doping, not state sponsored?
From what I'm told doping there is not state sponsored but people in government are getting cuts of what their athletes are getting but it's done privately.

The Robert Qualls case is pretty funny. He got busted at 72 years old!
It looks like that list only includes tests by AIU because Daniel Nascimento is missing, and he was busted for 3 steroids at the same time! 😄 This was a sample from Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya while he was training there. Training in a foreign country sounds a bit risky because there's a conflict of interest.
I guess the Kenyan Mafia is involved in this. Cutting a % of race earnings from every athlete they sponsor in races across the globe. You might turn a nice profit if the number of athletes you've got in this racket is big enough.
The link doesn’t seem to work Coevett. What I would say generally is if you are on one side of an issue my default mode would be to be on the other side, and in all seriousness, to fight you to the death if necessary. Everything good and noble within me tells me you are a reprehensible creature with hate in your heart. And if you are occasionally correct it is not because of good intention on your part.
