Kenya has been in Category A since 2016 but measures are being put in place to reduce the doping cases.
Since 2016, Kenya has been on Category A of the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) compliance watch list and has not fared any better since then.
Being in Category A predisposes Kenya to a lot of risks including being banned since the country has the highest doping risk in the sport.

GENERAL ADAK CEO Sarah Shibutse on why media is crucial to fight soaring doping cases
Shibutse shared that the media plays a very significant role when it comes to the menace.
In 2017, Kenya recorded the highest number of doping cases which were at 57. So far this year, 25 cases have already been filed and fingers are crossed regarding the menace.
Sports PS Peter Tum has revealed that the reason why Kenya is still in the category is because the country needs to have reached a certain level in terms of testing.
The government committed to set aside approximately Ksh709,250,000 as they seek to end the doping menace.
“The reason why we are still there is because we need to have reached a certain level in terms of testing. We have put in place very stringent rules when it comes to testing through ADAK and they have really done well.
