Kenya's athletics body said on Sunday that media reports
alleging doping among its runners were a smear campaign ahead of world championships
in Beijing.
Britain's Sunday Times
newspaper and German broadcaster ARD/WDR said they were given access to the
results of more than 12,000 blood tests showing more than 800 athletes had
given blood samples that were "highly suggestive" of doping or
"abnormal". Of the 800, 77 were Kenyan athletes according the
reports.
"We
cannot fail to point out that the documentary is an attempt to smear our
runners with unwarranted suspicion as they prepare to undertake duty for their
country in Beijing, China," Athletics Kenya said in a statement.
