    "content": "In the recent past, Kenyan athletes have had credibility. We do not want a situation where when we win gold and no one believes. For example, we were risking an international ban where over 25 athletes were hit with sanctions and 19 active cases are pending as at 2022 alone. I thank President William Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza Government for intervening. Otherwise, we were at risk of a ban like Russia and other countries. It would have dented our credibility as one of the giants of athletics. We are colossus and we globetrot with the pride of being the best in athletics. Among the top names of the recent ban are the 2021 Boston Marathon Champion, Diana Kipyokei and mountain racer, Mark Kangogo. The list also includes Rita Jeptoo, multiple Chicago and Boston Marathon winner; Jemima Sumgong, who won the Rio Olympic Marathon title in 2016; sprinter, Mark Otieno Odhiambo; and, the recent Porto Marathon winner, Alice Chepkemboi Kimutai."
