The prospect of Kenyan athletes being excluded from the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer has increased after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) admitted it was worried by the country’s slow progress in the fight against drugs.

WADA has been working with BBC: “We have clamped down. We can’t compare to Russia at all.

“The government knows the importance of athletics to this nation. It’s our No. 1 brand and we can't spoil that.”
