    "content": "have been banned by either the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) or the Anti– Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) and has led to a situation whereby the Kenyan athletes have to undergo intense testing before participating in major events and has immensely affected the reputation of the Kenyan athletes and the standing of Kenya in the international sports arena where it currently ranks at number five; CONCERNED THAT, despite the high number of alleged doping cases, Kenya has only one World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) approved blood testing laboratory forcing it to send urine tests to Qatar and South Africa for analysis and that the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) is taking too long to address the doping menace which is likely to affect the state of preparedness for the athletes in the upcoming 2024 Olympic games in Paris; NOW THEREFORE the Senate resolves that the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Arts: - a. Come up with modalities that can help achieve increased testing, intelligence gathering on athletes and doping awareness programmes; b. In collaboration with Athletics Kenya (AK) and National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) vet all training camps, coaches, trainers and other athlete handlers; c. Initiate investigations at Anti-Doping Agency Kenya (ADAK) to identify and sanction all responsible officers liable for the menace of doping; d. In collaboration with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) finalize pending investigations and recommend prosecution of individuals involved in giving this banned substance to athletes; and e. In collaboration with the Ministry of Health to identify and revoke licenses for medics, pharmacies and hospitals responsible for the prescription of the commonly abused drugs by the athletes."
