An Indian national has been arrested in Elgeyo Marakwet County on suspicion of distributing performance-enhancing drugs to athletes.
In a statement, the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) revealed a raid was carried out on March 5 with the aid of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) following a tip-off about the Indian national's activities.
According to ADAK, the raid was conducted on the suspect's residence, which is located in Iten, the famous high-altitude training town known for producing some of Kenya's best athletes.
Several items were discovered following the raid, including substances like growth hormone (HGH), meldonium, and mannitol - all of which are prohibited under the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code.
