Athletics Kenya shut down 14 illicit herbal injection clinics near Iten and Eldoret on July 30, 2025—after lab tests revealed steroids and heavy metals in unregulated traditional IV drips. AK partnered with *Safe Herbal Kenya* to offer certified oral supplements (moringa, ginger, baobab) instead. Tradition must be safe—or it’s betrayal, said Anti-Doping Chief Dr. Lucy Waweru. Over 500 athletes attended Supplement Literacy workshops. World Athletics added Kenya’s findings to its global alert system.
