National Olympic trialist Ferdinand Omanyala has warned fellow athletes that ignorance is no defence for any contravention of anti-doping rules. The sprinter was among key speakers at a three-day anti-doping education seminar for Olympic trialists at the Weston Hotel in Nairobi. Our obligation is to keep reminding you to run and win clean at all times," Tuwei said. His sentiments were reinforced by Charlotte Kurgoy, head of the federation's anti-doping unit, who said athletes only have themselves to blame for any penalties resulting from doping offences. Similar seminars will be held in Eldoret tomorrow and Kericho on Saturday to cater to athletes currently training in these areas.
