Kenyan Rugby Says All Players Are Clean

The Kenyan Rugby Union has released a statement saying that all their players are clean. The Kenyan government has been challenged to state whether they had confidence in the qualification and integrity of members of a committee which has alleged that Kenyan sportsmen, among them national rugby team players used illegal food supplements.

The Kenyan Rugby Union chairman, Mwangi Muthee said his organisation was shocked to find press reports even alluding to “that, in the first place, it is illegal to use nutritional supplements.”

He said only one player had failed a doping test and that was way back in 2005. He also added that the Sevens players, who play up to nine months in a year around the world, are tested by standards set by the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Rugby Board and none had failed since 2005.

Muthee, said on Tuesday morning, there was no WADA approved Anti Doping Agency in Kenya and a recent local “Anti Doping Taskforce” committee assembled had cobbled together fallacious information from familiar players of local sport politics wishing to score points for their own agenda.

Muthee sent a brief message to the Government of Kenya’s Minister of Sports and Culture, Dr Hassan Wario on Tuesday saying: “This is shoddy and misinformed work by Moni Wekesa (the committee’s chairman). Our game is unfairly tarnished beyond repair and some Kenyans are now liable to litigation because of the press publication of ‘absolute rubbish and untruth’. This exercise was a search for cheap publicity which it achieved.”
