Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya

About Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya

In August 2009, Kenya became a signatory to the 2005 UNESCO Convention against Doping in Sport. Article 5 of the Convention mandates that each State Party implement appropriate measures, which may include legislation, regulations, policies, or administrative practices. Furthermore, Article 22 of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code requires governments to establish legislation, regulations, policies, or administrative practices to facilitate cooperation and information-sharing with anti-doping organizations, as well as data exchange among them. In alignment with these obligations, the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAM), a state corporation, was established under the Anti-Doping Act 2016. A primary objective of the Agency is to safeguard athletes’ fundamental right to participate in doping-free sports, thereby promoting good health, fairness, and equality for Kenyan athletes.

Vision: To become a world-class anti-doping agency that protects clean athletes and upholds fair play.
