Very pleased to meet H.E. President William Ruto during my visit to Kenya. Kenya is rightly proud to be the Home of Champions — and protecting that legacy means ensuring it is also a home of clean sport. We had a constructive discussion on the need for a strong culture of clean sport and a determined approach to preventing and fighting doping. The commitment is clear, and it now needs to be matched by sustained action. Thank you, Mr President, for the warm welcome and valuable exchange @wada_ama @ADAKKENYA .
