NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) The World Anti-Doping Agency says it has given Kenya a final deadline of May 2 to bring its program in line with the global code or a review committee will recommend it is declared non-compliant.
WADA says in a statement that an independent compliance review committee met Tuesday and decided Kenya's anti-doping program was still ''not in compliance'' with WADA's code. That Tuesday deadline was the second Kenya has missed this year.
WADA says unless Kenya has passed doping legislation and formally adopted regulations for its new national anti-doping body by next month, the committee will ask WADA's board to declare it non-compliant.
Although being non-compliant with WADA's rules doesn't immediately affect athletes, it could spur the IAAF to consider further sanctions, including a possible international ban.
