Corruption Currents: Kenya Launches New Olympics Doping-Bribery Probe.

Rio 2016 - Brazil

Kenyan authorities launched a probe into allegations that one of its most senior athletics officials solicited a bribe to cover up possible drugs cheating by international athletes. Is it time for Brazil to take on arts-based graft? (BBC, Washington Post).

Anti-doping chiefs are investigating claims a Kenyan athletics official offered to give athletes prior warning of drugs tests in return for £10,000.
