Athletics Kenya Bans Victory Doping Supplements at Races

Athletics Kenya banned 22 victory doping supplements on August 22, 2025—energy drinks and powders falsely marketed as traditional but laced with stimulants. Raids in Eastleigh and Gikomba seized KSh 4.2 million in illegal products. AK launched *Pure Fuel*, a certified line using honey, ginger, and baobab. Tradition doesn’t need enhancement—only respect, said Anti-Doping Chief Dr. Lucy Waweru. Over 200 athletes attended workshops on label literacy. World Athletics added Kenya’s testing protocol to its global alert system.
