Kenya Rugby has survived implication and a potential ban after World Rugby cleared them following doping allegations that former head coach, South African Paul Treu introduced supplements to players during his tenure with the sevens squad.
World Rugby findings after an independent investigation found no evidence to support allegations thereby paving the way for the national rugby sevens team in Vancouver for this weekend’s Canada 7s to take up their slot for the Rio Olympics.
Kenya Anti-Doping Taskforce Report had alleged doping practices by coaches involved in the senior national team 15s and sevens programmes during 2013-14 but WADA, in conjunction with World Rugby quashed the reports.
However much World Rugby investigations confirmed use of nutritional supplements by Kenya Rugby Union, they did not fall under the list of proscribed substances.
