    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill, amongst other things, establishes the Anti- Doping Agency whose description has been adequately explained by the two leaders of this House. They are the administrators and enforcers of the law as suggested in this Bill. They will also deal with dispute resolution. This is a situation that would have saved Mr. Ngugi if this part of the Bill was available then. The financial provisions are also well discussed and fully expounded in this Bill. The other general provisions include confidentiality, offences, general penalties, transition and savings provisions. Clause 41 of this Bill may be a problem because some of these people might hide under the rule of confidentiality to hit on innocent athletes. All the same, I think that this can be rectified when we make amendments to some of the serious flaws in this Bill. It is interesting to note how the world has changed in the use of drugs especially in muscle enhancement in athletics. However, it is also important to note that sometimes, some individuals who are under medication may be labelled wrongly because of the metabolites of the medicine that they use for doping drugs. This issue must be looked into in detail to know the life history of an individual before he or she is condemned to be in that category of individuals. Therefore, the establishment of an Anti-Doping Agency, which comprises of many professional individuals makes a lot of sense. I am happy that we have some doctors and pharmacists included in this team who will answer some of the questions. I beg to support."
