Why Banning Kenya from Rio Presents an Olympian Dilemma
6/21/2016 Why banning Kenya from Rio presents an Olympian dilemma Why banning Kenya from Rio presents an Olympian dilemma May 29, 2016 5.42pm BST Paul Dimeo Senior Lecturer in Sport, University of Stirling The Conversation’s partners The Conversation UK receives funding from Hefce, Hefcw, SAGE, SFC, RCUK, The Nuffield Foundation, The Ogden Trust, The Royal Society, The Wellcome Trust, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and The Alliance for Useful Evidence, as well as sixty five university members. View the full list From left, Kenya’s Florence Kiplagat, Emily Chebet and Joyce Chepkirui celebrate victory at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Reuters/Suzanne Plunkett The World AntiDoping Agency, the International Olympic Committee and the International Association of Athletics Federations are facing a real dilemma. Having pushed Kenya towards improving its antidoping environment, the question remains whether to follow through and deliver the ultimate sanction – disqualification from the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Such a move would potentially prove disastrous for Kenyan sport. Athletes would lose the opportunity of participating in the most prestigious event. Months, even years, of planning would feel wasted. The economic rewards would be lost. The reputational damage would be enormous and a huge shadow would be cast over the country’s involvement in other international events. https://theconversation.com/whybanningkenyafromriopresentsanolympiandilemma59929 1/3 6/21/2016 Why banning Kenya from Rio presents an Olympian dilemma The arguments for such a move are clear. Media investigations claim to show widespread doping. More than 40 athletes have failed drugs tests since 2011 and 18 are currently serving bans.
