ADAK

ADAK (Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya) is the national authority responsible for promoting clean sport and combating doping in Kenya. Established under the Anti-Doping Act of 2016, ADAK works to ensure that athletes and sports organizations comply with international anti-doping standards, including those set by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The agency is tasked with testing athletes, managing results, conducting investigations, and delivering education and outreach programs to raise awareness about the dangers and consequences of doping. ADAK plays a critical role in protecting the integrity of Kenyan sports, particularly given the country’s global reputation in athletics. It collaborates with local and international bodies to strengthen anti-doping measures, uphold athlete health, and maintain fair competition. Despite challenges such as limited resources and high-profile doping cases, ADAK continues to develop policies and programs aimed at fostering a doping-free sporting culture in Kenya. Its work is vital for safeguarding both athletes’ reputations and Kenya’s sporting legacy.
