A"medically-savvy operation" is helping Kenyan athletes cover up doping offences, the Athletics Integrity Unit and Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya said on Tuesday, adding they had found similar forged documents and references to fictitious doctors in two recent cases.

"Nalyanya and Lempus told the AIU they received intramuscular injections while being treated at the same Kenyan hospital and produced falsified medical documents to support their respective claims," the AIU said.
