    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill is important particularly for this nation because I am convinced that the athletes in Kenya need protection from the people who are doing the doping trade. This business is conducted by the bigwigs and fat cats because they have money. Therefore, the young athletes in Kenya from Elgeyo-Marakwet County and occasionally from Machakos County, among other counties, cannot engage in doping. The importance of this Bill is that, it will protect Kenyans who are using their talent to win races. Sen. (Dr.) Machage asked a question which must be answered. As we discuss the Bill, we must inform the public that the doping that is referred to in the Bill is not doping in athletics. It is the use of prohibited substances and methods in any sporting activity. This includes doping in any sporting activity whether competitive or recreational in order to artificially enhance performance. It includes weight lifting. The problem about doping is that, it is going to move from athletics to football, basketball, rugby and there will be no end to it."
