Kenyan president signs anti-doping bill into lawSo apparently WADA are trying to get the IOC to ban Kenya from the Olympics because it didn't like the anti-doping legislative framework its Parliament passed. It demanded that doping offences become crimes.NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta signed into law on Friday an anti-doping bill required to avoid a ban from the Rio Olympics for a nation famed for its runners but tainted by a spate of doping cases in recent years.
The athletics world has been in turmoil since the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) issued a report in November citing widespread use of doping in the sport.
Kenya had been given a one-month extension on April 7 to comply with WADA regulations or face sanctions that could include a ban from this year’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Flanked by senior government officials and sportsmen and women, Kenyatta was shown signing the bill into law in a video released by the president’s office.
"Kenya is 100 percent committed to ensuring total compliance with international regulations on sports and athletics,” he said at the signing ceremony.
“This law is the continuation, not the end, of our efforts to stand against cheating and corruption in the sporting and athletics arena,” he said.
The law, demanded by WADA, will criminalize doping in a country with a history of middle and long-distance running excellence, but tainted by recent doping cases.
Kenya had also missed a February deadline to establish a legal framework for its Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK).
In response to Friday’s developments, WADA issued a statement saying its independent Compliance Review Committee will meet early next month to review the decision.
“We understand from media reports that there has been some progress with Kenya’s anti-doping bill,” WADA said in a statement. “Unless (the Compliance Review Committee) deem that the bill, policy and ADAK rules are formally adopted by that date then they will recommend to the WADA Foundation Board that the Kenyan NADO (national anti-doping organization) should be declared non-compliant.”
WADA’s position on the criminalization of doping remains unchanged, saying athletes found guilty of doping should not face criminal charges, although it has encouraged governments to introduce laws to penalize the traffickers and distributors of banned substances.
About 40 Kenyan athletes have been banned for doping in the last three years.
There you have it folks, WADA is telling a sovereign nation what laws it needs to make and stands over them to control their democratically elected politicians. Who elected WADA? Oh that’s right, nobody.
These ■■■■■■■ want to send athletes to jail with comfortable satisfaction and some strands in a cable.
well it worked here so I guess they think they can do it to the rest of the world !!!

has anyone picked up on WADA and Jarryd Haynes? Haynes played in the NRL and then tried his luck in the NFL (American Football) and now wants to play Rugby with Fiji at the olympics. Well WADA rules say he can’t because he played in a competition ( the NFL) that is not under WADA’s control. What a joke and what a disgrace. WADA effectively punishes the little people from Fiji because it can. I bet Turnbull and Ley do nothing.

The Olympics are run by the IOC and WADA is an arm of the IOC.
What you need is for athletes the world over to boycott the Olympics and start their elite tournaments in competition with the IOC - similar to what Packer did with cricket in the 70s.

Not if he is playing as a citizen of Fiji. People get so confused. Like that kidnapping guy that’s in jail in Beirut, keeps saying the Aust govt are doing nothing for him, but he entered the country on a UK passport. Cant have it both ways, if you travel on a UK passport you are presenting yourself as a UK citizen. Cant then claim you should get assistance from Aust govt.

The anology doesn’t work. WADA is affecting an Australian who has done no wrong. WADA is saying obey us at all times or else. It is unaccountable and could and would do the same to anyone wanting to compete in the olympics as an Australian.
Any country who wants to be part of this one big happy ‘Olympic family’ have essentially signed over their sovereign legal rights to WADA/IOC as far as AD matters are concerned. Whether it is Australia, Fiji, Kenya etc. really doesn’t matter. That’s why the outcome of the Claudia Pechstein case from Germany will be very important and interesting in the near future for WADA/CAS/IOC.

Its not an analogy, its the way govt works. If he wants to compete as an Australian it would be different. But he wants to compete for Fiji. Nothing to do with Australia.
If it was affecting a member of the Australian team then it would be something to do with the Australian government.

Not having a go, but have to say I had heard of him prior, coz he trained with us a few of years back, think it was 2008 or 09.
Anyway like you say back to what this thread is for.
Are there any western Australian senators involved pushing our case that I can vote for.

Back was active in the Senate hearings, even though he did not support an enquiry. He does not seem well disposed to McD. At the hearings he said he had been talking to Woosha.

Back is keen to get at ASADA, if the comments to me by his staff are any guide. He’d really like an off the record briefing by one of the 34 as well, but it seems that’ll never happen, mores the pity.
I spoke with Senator Madigan on Sunday arvo, just outside Southern Cross station.
I told him I would vote for him and thanked him for his support.
To which he replied that he was supporting justice. Well said.
Any word on the FOI request today? 30 days up?
