Athletics Kenya president Jack Tuwei reveals they have unearthed a worrying trend of age cheating through forgery of identification documents, including birth and school leaving certificates."We have discovered in the recent past...in Athletics Kenya that we have got a few athletes who have amended their documents to show different ages as opposed to their real ones. We have so far discovered 26 cases going all the way back to 2016," Tuwei said.
The revelation comes in the wake of the national trials for the World Under 20 Championships, held at the Nyayo Stadium over the past weekend.
