adminCAPE TOWN. — Steroids have been found in supplements given to players on Kenya’s rugby Sevens team, according to a report that calls for disciplinary proceedings against head coach Paul Treu and five members of his staff. The report by a task force set up by the government to investigate allegations of doping in Kenyan sport says there are “strong suggestions” that Treu of South Africa and his assistants have violated anti-doping rules after introducing the supplements to players.
There was “a concoction they (the coaches) gave players to drink at the beginning and end of training,” Moni Wekesa, the chairperson of the task force that investigated, told The Associated Press on Monday. The report says the Kenyan players would stop taking the supplement a few days before competing. Wekesa said that tests performed on the supplements in January were positive for steroids, and the Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) was immediately informed. — AFP.
