Kenya has a doping crisis – so why has it been awarded the World Athletics Championships?

Nairobi, Kenya, has been awarded the 2029 World Athletics Championships, beating rival bids from London and Rome to become the first African city to host the event. However, the decision has drawn scrutiny given Kenya's significant doping problem, with the country having faced numerous anti-doping violations in recent years. Critics question whether Kenya is an appropriate host given its troubled record with performance-enhancing drugs in athletics.
