A: With the rise of doping cases in the country especially in athletics, there was pressure from the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) and World Athletics (WA) for Kenya to take urgent action.

Before Adak was registered, the Regional Anti-Doping Agency (Rado) had handled five cases while the French Anti-Doping Agency has handled four cases that are of Kenyan athletes who were training or competing in France.

We have been able to capture or receive anti-doping intelligence from all available sources, including athletes and their support personnel and members of the public, sample collection personnel, laboratories, national sports federations, law enforcement, other regulatory and disciplinary bodies.

More specifically, besides the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) and AIU, we have strong ties with Turkish Anti-Doping Agency and Anti-Doping Norway, and that tells you why our tests are now going scientific with the focus now turning to Athletes Blood Passport analysis.

Q: Why are doping cases still on the rise despite Adak, Wada and AIU efforts to stem the vice?
